WasteServ said Friday its commitment to delivering Malta's essential waste-to-energy facility remains firm, even though the latest procurement round closed this week without a successful award.

Despite this outcome, WasteServ remains determined to ensure this important national project can be delivered, the company said in a statement.

No remaining bids met the necessary requirements for evaluation, the statement said.

The proposed waste-to-energy plant remains a cornerstone of the €500 million ECOHIVE investment programme and will allow Malta to move away from its historical reliance on landfilling and move further towards a circular economy.

This facility is set to play a crucial role in Malta's long-term waste management strategy by treating around 192,000 tonnes of locally generated non-recyclable waste annually, diverting it from landfills and converting it into green energy.
