The Mepa board will discuss and decide on the IPPC permit regarding the new Delimara power station extension on Thursday.

The IPPC permit is necessary for the operation of the plant.

During the last few weeks, Enemalta has been carrying out its final tests on the controversial BWSC plant, with some complaints about smoke and smell as a result of these tests being received.

The discussion about the IPPC permit is expected to take some time: in fact, it is the only item on the board’s agenda for the day.
