The Malta PHES energy storage system is built upon well-established principles in thermodynamics and uses conventional components that have been present in power plants for hundreds of years. Electricity from the grid is used to heat molten salt and cool a chilled liquid. In these forms, energy can be efficiently stored for long durations.
Malta has developed a long-duration energy storage solution leveraging steam-based heat pump technology that offers a cost- and energy-efficient, flexible, and integration-ready solution to utility and industrial clients.
Malta SEMS (Steam Energy Management and Storage) seamlessly integrates with existing energy infrastructure or operates as a stand-alone system, delivering clean, reliable power and heat at scale. Designed to accelerate decarbonization, SEMS offers grid-scale synchronous long-duration storage with unmatched adaptability.
Zero Waste, Circular Solution: Malta's solution uses non-hazardous materials, has no waste by-products, poses no long-term disposal challenges, and is 100% recyclable. Long-Duration, Longer Lifespan: Malta's solution can discharge stored energy in the form of power and/or heat from 8 hours to multiday periods.
Long-Duration, Longer Lifespan: Malta's solution can discharge stored energy in the form of power and/or heat from 8 hours to multiday periods. Like other power plants, its lifespan is expected to be 30 years or longer.
