🏛️ Is there a regulated or capped energy price in Malta?

The short answer

In some countries the state or the regulator sets or caps the price households pay. In others, prices are free and you compare offers.

📜 The rules in Malta

Regulated price

All households pay the regulated tariff: a yearly service fee (€65 single phase) plus a price per kWh that rises with annual use, from €0.1047 (first 2,000 kWh) to €0.6076 above 20,000 kWh, VAT included (residential tariff).

The market

Enemalta plc is both the distribution network operator and the electricity supplier for Malta and Gozo, so households cannot choose another supplier. Billing is handled by its subsidiary ARMS Ltd. There is no mains gas for homes; LPG cylinders are sold at regulated prices.

❓ Questions

Who sets the price?

See the explanation for Malta on this page.

Can I go back to the regulated price?

That depends on national rules. Check the official source on this page.

Why is my bill higher than the cap?

A cap may apply to the unit price or a typical bill, not your total. Taxes and your use also count.
