Insiders have told MaltaToday that the agreement with the Electrogas consortium had to be revised when SEP acquired a 33% stake in Enemalta plc in March 2014, and became the owners of the Delimara power station extension. Yesterday, energy minister Konrad Mizzi also con- firmed with this newspaper that the construction of the new gas-fired power station in Delimara would not be completed by March 2015. But he said that the energy tariff reductions for busi- nesses would come into force as pledged. News of the delay is set to turn into a new headache for Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, who had publicly claimed he would resign if his government does not de- liver the power station within the timeframes it had set for itself. On 11 April, 2013, Enemalta issued an Expression of Interest and Capability (EoIC) for a power purchase and gas supply agreement, binding candidates to build and operate a new LNG plant by 31 March, 2015. Shortly after Electrogas was chosen to build the new plant, Chinese company Shanghai Electric Power pur- chased the 'BWSC plant' for €300 million.

A senior police source yesterday told MaltaToday that Schembri, of Mellieha, had no prior criminal con- victions and that no Interpol alert had been issued after the man was reported to have left the island on the night between 20 and 21 September. But it transpires that no reports were filed with the police over the debts owed by Schembri. "No police report gets lodged over illicit loans, that's for sure. But then even if Schembri defaulted on his legitimate business debts and bank loans, that's not even a police matter. If anything it would be his hypothe- cated assets that would suffer," the police source told MaltaToday. Konrad Mizzi: gas-fi red power station will not be completed by March next year
