Newsbook.com.mt jinsab infurmat li x-xogħol fuq l-interconnector tal-elettriku bejn Malta u Sqallija mistenni li jkun lest lejn tmiem is-sena, x’aktarx lejn l-aħħar ta’ Ottubru.

L-interconnector, twil 95 kilometru f’qiegħ il-baħar, se jkun qed jipprovdi aktar minn 200MW ta’ enerġija filwaqt li l-Korporazzjoni Enemalta tista’ tikkunsidra li tikkummissjona t-tieni interconnector.

Dan jista’ jibda jopera lejn tmiem l-2015.

If this is so, do we really need a new power station? We could have had cheaper energy, as proposed by the PN, without having to fork out millions of euro and without an LNG vessel in Marsaxlokk.

So for a 2 cents (8 mils of LM currency) a press conference wasting the time of journalists is held and this done in silence.

In reply to nistaqsi. The PN must promise that if it is elected to power the power purchase agreement will be revised in a way that the consortium will have to keep its original selling price to Enemalta for another 5 years. If it can be done for the first 5 why not for the second 5 years? Ok there's an agreement involved but surely this agreement is based on pure political opportunism and manipulations.

In reply to A+. Didn't Muscat say he would resign if the power station is not ready in two years after his 2013 victory?

If the contract has indeed been signed, can we see the proof?

That is what will be happening, Min Jaf. It won’t be long before we see it being dragged in Marsaxlokk port to be installed as plan.

John Dalli has been uncharacteristically silent and out of sight for some considerable time now. What are the odds that the new power station will pop up on a barge over the horizon one morning early in 2015?

Newspaper headlines should have screamed: PM caught lying. He lied yesterday. Blatantly. And he was caught and try to cover up but it was too late. As the Italians so eloquently put it: lies have short legs.
