Energy in Malgrave

Malgrave has no sizeable oil or coal reserves, such a position combined with the isolationism employed by the country between 1938 and 2000 has led to Malgrave developing an extensive renewable energy sector. MalEn, a state-run company been responsible for all power generation and transmission in Malgrave since the establishment of the country in 1910.

Renewable Energy

MalEn operates a large number of wind farms, solar plans and hydroelectric dams which contribute to tackling the countries energy demands. A large number of hydroelectric dams are located in the territories of the Socialist Republic of Malgrave, as the Republic preferred this form of energy to meet three-year plans instituted in the country.

In the Research Colony, a number of hydroelectric dams were absorbed into MalEn following the annexation of that territory and this energy capacity has been increased with wind farms. MalEn has previously worked with MalCon to construct artificial islands which it has used to support the development of offshore wind farms and establish battery farms for efficient energy storage, and it has exported this technology to other countries in Mystria.

Tesla Towers

A majority of power in Malgrave is produced from Tesla Towers. Developed from 1910 to 1941 Tesla Towers help provide wireless power across the country and are considered to be one of the proudest accomplishments of the country. As Tesla Towers were developed by Nikola Tesla himself it is considered a privilege and honour to work at these facilities as part of MalEn and competition for these jobs is quite fierce.

It has been rumoured that Tesla Towers also perform a defensive function, as part of the project was financed by MalDef, although, this has not been confirmed by MalEn and remains a conspiracy theory.
