B\u2019aktar minn 98 km ta\u2019 kejbils f\u2019qieg\u0127 il-ba\u0127ar, kwa\u017ci 20 km ta\u2019 kejbils fuq l-art, kapa\u010bit\u00e0 ta\u2019 fluss bidirezzjonali ta\u2019 200 MW ta\u2019 elettriku b\u2019230 kV, l-Interconnector bejn Malta u l-Italja huwa wie\u0127ed mill-itwal interconnectors ta\u2019 kurrent alternanti b\u2019vulta\u0121\u0121 g\u0127oli, tal-kapa\u010bit\u00e0 tieg\u0127u fid-dinja.<\/p>\n
A\u0127na nu\u017caw dan l-Interconnector bejn Ba\u0127ar i\u010b-\u010aag\u0127aq, f\u2019Malta u Marina di Ragusa, fil-g\u017cira Taljana ta\u2019 Sqallija, biex nikkonnettjaw il-grid nazzjonali Maltija man-netwerk tal-ener\u0121ija Ewropew. Permezz ta\u2019 din l-infrastruttura, a\u0127na niksbu kapa\u010bit\u00e0 addizzjonali ta\u2019 200 MW ta\u2019 elettriku impurtat biex nissodisfaw il-\u0127ti\u0121ijiet tal-elettriku tal-klijenti tag\u0127na.<\/p>\n
Fl-2010, a\u0127na qabbadna lill-kumpanija Norve\u0121i\u017ca Nexans biex timmanifattura u tqieg\u0127ed l-interconnector f\u2019qieg\u0127 il-ba\u0127ar u tissorvelja x-xog\u0127lijiet relatati kollha fuq l-art fil-Mag\u0127tab f\u2019Malta, u f\u2019Ragusa, fil-g\u017cira Taljana ta\u2019 Sqallija. Sal-a\u0127\u0127ar tal-2013, it-terminal station fil-Mag\u0127tab kien kwa\u017ci lest. Dan l-istazzjon jinkludi switchgear i\u017colat bil-gass, shunt reactors, transformers u tag\u0127mir ie\u0127or biex jimmonitorja u jikkontrolla l-elettriku trasferit permezz tal-kejbil f\u2019qieg\u0127 il-ba\u0127ar, qabel ma ji\u0121i distribwit lill-grid Maltija.<\/p>\n
Ix-xog\u0127lijiet l-o\u0127ra li kien fadal twettqu matul l-2014. Nexans u\u017cat il-bastiment spe\u010bjalizzat tag\u0127ha li jqieg\u0127ed il-kejbils, biex i\u0121\u0121ib il-kejbil ta\u2019 qieg\u0127 il-ba\u0127ar mill-fa\u010bilit\u00e0 ta\u2019 manifattura tag\u0127ha f\u2019Halden, fin-Norve\u0121ja, g\u0127all-Ba\u0127ar Mediterran, f\u2019\u017cew\u0121 lottijiet. Il-kejbil ta\u2019 qieg\u0127 il-ba\u0127ar in\u0121ibed g\u0127al fuq l-art permezz ta\u2019 mina fil-Bajja ta\u2019 Qalet Marku, kilometru \u2019l bog\u0127od mit-Terminal Station tal-Mag\u0127tab, u \u0121ie installat f\u2019kanal tal-konkrit rinforzat.<\/p>\n
Fi ftit xhur, il-kejbil ta\u2019 qieg\u0127 il-ba\u0127ar tpo\u0121\u0121a u ntradam f\u2019qieg\u0127 il-ba\u0127ar bejn i\u017c-\u017cew\u0121 g\u017cejjer. L-Enemalta rat li dan il-pro\u010bess ma jfixkilx l-ambjent marittimu tal-Mediterran, u hemm fis-se\u0127\u0127 mi\u017curi spe\u010bjali biex ti\u0121i m\u0127arsa l-Posidonia Oceanica endemika, spe\u010bi protetta ta\u2019 \u0127axix tal-ba\u0127ar li tikber f\u2019din il-parti tal-Ba\u0127ar Mediterran.<\/p>\n
L-Interconnector jg\u0127aqqad il-grid Maltija man-netwerk tal-ener\u0121ija Ewropew permezz ta\u2019 substation operat mill-operatur tas-sistema tat-tra\u017cmissjoni Taljan Terna, f\u2019Ragusa. Hawnhekk, l-istazzjon tal-Enemalta jinkludi switchgear fuq barra i\u017colat bl-arja, shunt reactors u tag\u0127mir g\u0127all-protezzjoni u l-kontroll tal-konnessjoni mal-grid Taljana.<\/p>\n
F\u2019Settembru 2014, il-kejbil ta\u2019 qieg\u0127 il-ba\u0127ar in\u0121ibed g\u0127al fuq l-art f\u2019Marina di Ragusa. Kejbils ta\u0127t l-art tul 19-il kilometru ta\u2019 toroq sekondarji jg\u0127aqqdu l-interconnector ta\u2019 qieg\u0127 il-ba\u0127ar mal-iswitchgear fis-substation. Il-kejbil ta\u2019 qieg\u0127 il-ba\u0127ar jinkludi wkoll \u017cew\u0121 clusters tal-fibra ottika g\u0127at-trasferiment tad-data<\/em>.<\/p>\n F\u2019Jannar 2015, is-sistemi kollha kienu lesti u beda l-ittestjar finali. L-ewwel sinkronizzazzjoni tan-netwerks Taljani u Maltin permezz tal-Interconnector se\u0127\u0127et b\u2019su\u010b\u010bess f\u2019Marzu 2015.<\/p>\n L-Interconnector bejn Malta u l-Italja mhux biss kien xi \u0127a\u0121a \u0121dida g\u0127al Malta, i\u017cda wkoll pass teknolo\u0121iku importanti \u2019l quddiem fl-i\u017cvilupp ta\u2019 dan it-tip ta\u2019 interkonnessjoni tal-elettriku madwar id-dinja. Huwa temm l-i\u017colament tal-G\u017cejjer Maltin min-netwerk tal-ener\u0121ija Ewropew u pprovda sigurt\u00e0 tal-provvista u flessibbilt\u00e0 akbar fis-servizzi tag\u0127na tal-elettriku.<\/p>\n<\/div>
