For the seventh consecutive year, the Energy & Water Agency has partnered with the Chamber of Engineers for the Malta Engineering Excellence Awards, sponsoring the Energy & Water Sustainability Award.
The award is open to private enterprises that have carried out projects which have significantly reduced their energy or water use. It gives businesses the opportunity to share the work they have carried out and receive recognition for their achievements.
The winning enterprise will benefit from training for its employees, with costs of up to €4,000 covered by the Energy & Water Agency, in accordance with the award guidelines.
Participating enterprises will also have the opportunity to showcase their projects through short videos produced by EWA. These will highlight the initiatives undertaken, the results achieved and the contribution made towards improved energy or water sustainability.
Multigas Ltd won the 2025 Energy & Water Sustainability Award for its project, Upgrade of Aspen 1000 Plant Water Cooling System. The project achieved a 10% reduction in total site energy consumption, water savings of more than 85% and a payback period of 22 months.
