The Public Appointments Committee has unanimously approved the appointment of Nancy Caruana as Chairperson of the Regulator for Energy and Water Services (REWS). 

The Regulator reaffirms its commitment to delivering fair, transparent, and high-quality services under Nancy Caruana’s leadership. 

Beginning her public service career in 1982, Nancy Caruana contributed to several departments including the Examinations office, the VAT Department and steadily rising through the ranks to the highest levels of government administration as Director Finance and Administration at the Lands Department in 2010, and as Director Tourism in 2014. 

In 2014, Nancy Caruana was appointed as Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of the Economy, Investment and Small Business. In 2022 she was reappointed as Permanent Secretary at the Ministry for Inclusion, Voluntary and Consumer Rights.  In July 2024 she was tasked once again with the responsibility of the Ministry for the Economy, Enterprise and Strategic Projects.

Her tenure was marked by strategic leadership in economic development, digital transformation, inclusion policy, and consumer rights, as well as oversight of major national reforms and infrastructure projects.

In recognition of her outstanding service and long-standing commitment to the Maltese public sector, Nancy Caruana was honoured with the Dedication in Public Service Award by the Office of the Prime Minister during the ‘MARA’ event in March 2025.

Ms Caruana retired in April 2025.
