Marsa Power Station

Enemalta plc contractors have completed the dismantling and demolition of the Marsa Power Station, paving the way for the long-awaited regeneration of this inner Grand Harbour area.

After the last two chimneys of the Marsa Power Station were pulled down, the few remaining structures on site, including one of the turbine halls and several fuel tanks, were removed to complete the project on schedule.

The dismantling process started in October 2014, a few months before the power station was switched off for the last time in March of the following year.

The demolition contractors removed over 12,000 tonnes of concrete and other building materials from the power station site.

Dust abatement and other pollution control measures were in place to safeguard the wellbeing of residents and workers in the area during the entire process.

These historic tunnels are being carefully used by Enemalta and Streamcast Technologies to house a number of international data centres.

However, part of the electricity production was relocated to the more modern Delimara power plant, so that the EU limit values for emissions were reached.
