1. Government says it is consistent in seeking lowest
sustainable tariffs
The government said this evening that its consistent position was that the power tariffs should
be kept as low as possible in a manner which was sustainable for the country. On the contrary,
what the Opposition was proposing would raise the cost of electricity. In a statement issued in
reaction to comments made by Opposition leader Joseph Muscat, the government said that in
line with its commitment, it was investing in the interconnector power cable and planning a gas
pipeline from Sicily for power generation. The benefits of these investments would be enjoyed
by consumers – domestic and industrial - through tariffs that were kept at the lowest possible
level in a way that was sustainable for the country. The government said this position had been
reiterated by the prime minister – including today – when he criticised the opposition for
planning to import gas on ships instead of through a pipeline which qualified for European
funds.
