The Minister for Education and the Minister for Gozo confirm that they do not know how to measure and do not know what they are talking about

In the panic Labour finds itself in, its Ministers are getting confused and exposing just how little they know about what they are talking about.

They claim that “more than 31,940.6 kWp of solar-generated energy is produced every year”. This makes no sense. You cannot measure generated energy in kWp – that is the maximum capacity of what the panels can generate.

A capacity of 31,940.6 kWp is the capacity of all the panels across the whole of Gozo. It certainly would not fit on the roofs of those schools.

Perhaps they made a mistake and meant, instead, 31,940.6 kWh of solar-generated energy every year. If that is the case, then the problem is even greater than the PN said, because it would mean that over 10 years they generated seven times less than what emerges from the reply to the Parliamentary Question answered by Minister Clint Camilleri himself. The figures were published by Minister Camilleri in his own reply, and it cannot be the case that the panels are working while, over 10 years, they generated only the amounts given by Minister Camilleri.

Labour’s incompetence and deceit in the energy sector are becoming increasingly clear. Instead of issuing misleading reactions and denying the known truth and the information they themselves published, it would have been far better had the Minister for Education and the Minister for Gozo taken action when these issues were reported, and ensured that these systems were repaired so that they would not continue losing further energy generation.

Only a Partit Nazzjonalista in Government can truly repair the neglect, incompetence and abandonment left behind by this Government.

The PN is ready to give a Fresh Start to the energy sector and to the Maltese and Gozitan people.
