Jul 19 2023 Share

Various Maltese localities have been reporting extended hours without any power, with some reporting almost 12 hours of no power. 

As mobile phone power dwindled, many took to social media to express their frustration at there being such long power cuts, with some localities, like Żurrieq, Ħaż-Żebbuġ and San Ġwann all reporting the issue. 

Reports from Żurrieq state that the power went off at around 1900hrs yesterday, extending throughout the night and now reaching the 12 hour mark. 

Others in Haż-Żebbuġ report the power being cut at around 1600hrs yesterday, whereas some in San Ġwann reporting a 13 hour power cut. 

Enemalta followed up on a previous post, saying that, whilst supply in some areas affected by network difficulties have had their power restored, engineers and technicians are still carrying out repairs in other areas to reconnect affected customers. 

The company is using SMS notifications to keep subscribed customers updated on faults and repairs affecting supplies. 

Did you experience power cuts throughout last night?
