It took the government quite a while to realise that the wind also blows in Malta, the Nationalist Party said in a statement.

The PN has welcomes the public consultation on the national policy for the generation of clean offshore energy, however, notes its disappointment that “it is only now that they (the government) realised that the wind blows also in Malta”.

“It is only now, after 8 years from the corrupt deal of Montenegro that they (the government) realised that the wind also blows in Malta,” the PN, through its spokesman Mark Anthony Sammut, said.

In a press conference on Thursday, the Minister for Energy Miriam Dalli said that the primary vision for this policy is to offer energy sources which are affordable, clean, diversified, while also energy provision for the country.

She said that this is the first time that a public consultation is being done on such a policy, all in efforts to promote the private investor’s inclusion, as it promotes transparency.

The PN, in its reaction, remarked how “that it is unfortunate that the Government took so long to start believing in this sector.

This is something that the Nationalist Party has been advocating for quite a while. It is unfortunate that the government took so long to start believing in this sector.
