Gibraltar Electricity Authority

Gibraltar Electricity Authority is an agency under the Government of Gibraltar responsible for regulating the Gibraltar electricity market. The authority was created on 28 March 2003 under the Gibraltar Electricity Authority Act 2003. Its responsibility is to generate, distribute and supply electricity to the civilian population of Gibraltar. [1]

Who We Are

The Gibraltar Electricity Authority has continued to expand and has just over 100 substations throughout Gibraltar. The North Mole Power Station entered service in 2020 with an installed generating capacity of approximately 80 Mw, resulting in the existing power plants being decommissioned.

New power plant for Gibraltar''s Rock

The new process to deliver secure and sustainable energy to the Rock of Gibraltar has three distinct phases: delivery of LNG by an ocean-going LNG carrier, then stored at a dedicated terminal, and "regasified" as needed into natural gas at the power plant.

Energy

Until recently, Gibraltar''s electricity supply was dependent on some 40 diesel‑powered engines and turbines distributed across Gibraltar. In 2019 a new, modern power station situated at the North Mole commenced operation running long term on liquid natural gas (LNG).

Plans for new energy storage batteries could prevent future power

They would replace the current system of back-up diesel generators and have zero emissions and no extra fuel costs. GibElec CEO Michael Caetano told GBC last month the battery system would be
