Gozo and Mellieħa experienced significant power cuts, affecting several northern localities. The incident, caused by a damaged electricity cable that usually supplies power to Gozo, plunged numerous areas into darkness. The localities impacted included Fontana, Għajnsielem, Għarb, Għasri, Kerċem, Mellieħa, Munxar, Nadur, Qala, Victoria, San Lawrenz, Sannat, Xagħra, Xewkijja, and Żebbuġ, as reported by Enemalta’s live outage map.
The power interruption was attributed to a high-tension fault, according to the Enemalta website. However, the power was restored to the affected areas within 27 minutes, as confirmed by an Enemalta spokesperson. Despite the brief duration, the outage highlighted the vulnerability of the electricity supply infrastructure in these regions.
