Same here.

It could have been removed.

Strange, or what?

I always thought it was.

In less than five years the government is planning to decommission the Marsa power station and the 120MW steam units at Delimara power station (referred to as the old plant) despite being possible to keep it in operation till 2020.

And then Malta will have no alternative but to buy its power from this private company and/or from the cable from Sicily. Guess what will happen.

This is an extremely heavy burden on its capital.

It could be interpreted as a very high risk venture. Usually the stock market does not take kindly to that kind of thing, and since March it has lost over 10% of its share price after that marked spike.

If Nigeria fails (distinct possibility due to unrest) then the project may blow up. Who will save us then? Is Labour in it for just 5 years? A get rich quick scheme?

We’ll have five years with a cheaper rate while Labour is in government and 13 years at god knows what rate.

Can it be that he is involved here as well?
