Climate change reporting, groundwater abstraction regulation and quarry licensing

The Malta Resources Authority

The Malta Resources Authority is a public corporate body set up in 2000 through the Malta Resources Act originally to regulate water, energy and mineral resources, to promote energy efficiency and renewable sources of energy, and with responsibilities in the areas of oil exploration and climate change.

The Regulator for Energy and Water Services Act, 2015, changed the MRA’s responsibilities significantly. Grant schemes for domestic PV, domestic wells (bjar), solar water heaters and roof insulation, and swimming pool licences, electrician’s or wireman’s Licence A or Licence B, Enemalta, Water Services Corporation, water tankers or bowsers and fuel regulation are among the functions of the new regulator established under the Regulator for Energy and Water Services – REWS. The REWS may also be contacted on 22955000.
