Enemalta terminal, transformer hum, shooting nearby

This terminal station is located a few hundred metres away from Qalet Marku Bay, where the submarine cable was pulled ashore in December 2013. At the Terminal Station, electricity from the submarine cable will be received at 220kV and stepped down to 132kV. It is then fed to the Maltese grid via cables passing through a purposely-built 6.5 kilometres tunnel leading to the Kappara Distribution Centre. The cables connecting the Terminal Station to the Distribution Centre comprise three circuits, each with three single core cables in trefoil formation. At the other end of the terminal, the Interconnector cable heads towards Sicily through an 850 metre underground culvert until it reaches Qalet Marku Bay, at Bahar ic-Caghaq.
