In celebration of World Environment Day, a group of students from Marsaxlokk Primary School visited the Delimara Power Station as part of a special educational initiative organised in collaboration with the Marsaxlokk Local Council, Marsaxlokk Primary School, and ElectroGas Malta Ltd.

The visit offered students a rare behind-the-scenes look at one of Malta’s key energy facilities, with a focus on the station’s commitment to cleaner, more sustainable energy solutions. This unique opportunity aimed to enhance students' understanding of environmental responsibility and sustainable development in a real-world context.

Speaking about the initiative, ElectroGas Malta CEO, Jorge Perez, remarked: "Welcoming the students of Marsaxlokk Primary School to our facility on World Environment Day is a privilege. The transition from heavy fuel oil to liquefied natural gas (LNG) has had a significant positive impact on Malta’s air quality and carbon emissions.

"At ElectroGas, we believe that showing young people how these changes make a real difference is crucial. Education is the foundation for a sustainable future, and we are proud to contribute to that journey."

The Mayor of Marsaxlokk, Steven Grech, added that this initiative is a wonderful example of community collaboration. “Our Local Council is grateful to ElectroGas for donating books to the Marsaxlokk Library which will be enjoyed by all the people that frequent the library. This is a great initiative which the council fully supports and encourages other entities to follow into their example. The council thanks ElectroGas for this initiative."

Elaine Baldacchino, Head of Marsaxlokk Primary School, expressed her gratitude for the experience. "We are truly grateful to ElectroGas Malta Ltd for welcoming our students on World Environment Day. This visit was an incredible opportunity for them to learn firsthand about sustainable energy and the importance of protecting our environment. Experiences like these are vital in shaping informed, responsible citizens.

"We sincerely thank ElectroGas not only for their generous donation to our school and the wider community, but also for investing in the education of future generations. We look forward to continuing this valuable collaboration in the years ahead."

To further support environmental education in the local community, ElectroGas Malta donated a selection of books related to the environment to the Marsaxlokk Local Council, which will be made available at the Marsaxlokk Library. Additionally, ceiling fans have been donated for installation in the school’s main hall, improving comfort for students and staff during warmer months.
