The plant was expanded due to the increasing demand for electricity. It finally had a total capacity of 30 MW, which was achieved by five steam units with 5 MW each and a

The oldest parts of the Marsa Power
Station, known as the A Station, including several underground tunnels beneath Jesuits Hill, were retained. These historic tunnels are being carefully used by Enemalta and Streamcast Technologies to house a number of international data centres. The tunnels are

suited for this kind of development due to their security and stable, low temperatures. At the same time, data centre equipment installations do not require any structural modifications to the tunnel structures. The first of these data centres was inaugurated earlier this year.
