Over the past four days, Enemalta reported receiving more than 700 weather-related faults, including power outages, damaged poles, and electricity wires. 

In response, the company increased its workforce by 50% and allocated additional teams to assist affected customers.

During the storm, repairs were made as soon as it was safe for workers to do so. However, there were some high-line repairs that could not be completed due to dangerous wind conditions. 

On Saturday, engineers and technicians were able to work on these remaining faults, with nine teams solely focused on storm repairs. 

Repairs will continue Sunday and throughout the beginning of next week.

Enemalta apologizes for any inconvenience caused by the weather-related faults and reiterates its commitment to improving the electricity distribution system for its 350,000 customers in Malta and Gozo.

Energy and Environment Minister Miriam Dalli took to social media to thank the workers for their dedication.

‘Despite the horrific weather, Enemalta workers continued to work to assist clients impacted with difficulties during the weather which befell Malta over these past few days’ said the Minister. 

‘I also thank the workers from the Water Services Corporation who fixed the damages in these conditions as well. Thank you to all the workers for your labour!’
