CLARIFICATION TO ARTICLE PUBLISHED ON THE TIMES ON SATURDAY 18 MARCH 2017 entitled "enemalta paying dearly for power from china"
Reference
is made to the article entitled ‘Enemalta paying dearly for power from China’ published
by the Times of Malta on Saturday 18th March 2017. This article
states that ‘NSO statistics show that during 2015, Enemalta was provided
with 392,000 MWh of energy from the BWSC plant…’.
The
National Statistics Office (NSO) would like to clarify that it never published
such figure in its news releases. The NSO publishes the total electricity
generation from the power plants and the interconnector however, no information is given with regards
individual power plants because it falls within NSO’s confidential
criteria.
