Malta Braves Fifth Day Of Power Cuts As Enemalta Tries To Keep Up

Jul 21 2023

Thousands of people in multiple localities across Malta and Gozo are currently braving a string of constant power cuts amid a record-breaking heatwave, all while local energy company Enemalta attempts to fix the situation.

The power cut situation entered its fifth day today, with blackouts in Senglea, Birkirkara, San Gwann, Rabat, Dingli, Kalkara, Vittoriosa, Cospicua, Zabbar and Marsascala. Rightfully so, many took to social media to address their grievances, with some revealing that they actually slept on the roof of their home to escape the heated confines of their homes.

An individual writing to Malta Daily also shared that some zones are not even being shown on the Enemalta power cut map, as various members of the community, particularly elderly and animals, remain in the figurative and literal dark on the situation.

Meanwhile, Enemalta has remained active on social media claiming that it will ‘continue to help customers impacted by electricity network disruptions’. The energy company wrote that workers are repairing underground cable faults and other damages, utilising ‘specialised teams of engineers, technicians, cable fault locators and cable jointers, excavation contractors and other workers’.

Enemalta Chairman Ryan Fava and Enemalta CEO Jonathan Cardona confirmed that Malta registered a peak demand of 624 megawatts, the second record demand for the Maltese Islands in two days.

Despite playing with a ten-man squad, Balzan emerged victorious with an exceptional showing in extra time against NK Domzale, with Andre Prates netting a heroic 94-minute goal.

The true drama came, however, during Gzira United’s match against Irish side Glentoran F.C., which saw a record-breaking 28-penalty shootout after a last-minute equaliser from Glentoran. The shootout did not only surpass the 2020/2021 shootout between Shamrock Rovers and Ilves to become European football’s longest ever, but made international headlines for one particular moment.

The point which caught Maltese fans, commentators and even Gzira United’s goalkeeper off guard was when Glentoran’s Jay Donnelly took a hopeful shot to keep the Irish side in the game. Despite initially catching the shot, Gzira goalkeeper David Cassar celebrated too early, all while the ball managed to make it into the net via rebound.

What do you make of this moment?
