Malta will have the first solar pavement in the Rabat belvedere. As a result of this pilot project, 40% of the street lighting will be powered with clean energy from the sun. Project architect Corinne Dimech explained that 36 solar panels would be be integrated into the pavement. She said that through this € 70,000 investment, the country would save 21 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. The Triq Għeriexem project is being carried out by Infrastructure Malta which will be analyzing the project’s progress to decide on the sustainability of the investment for similar systems for footpaths, cycle lanes and other open spaces.
