Enemalta, in a statement on Tuesday morning said that another 13 underground cable faults were registered on Monday night.

Meanwhile its technical teams are “continuing extensive repairs to the electricity distribution network, to restore electricity to customers in parts of Naxxar, Mosta and Handaq,” the company said.

So far on Tuesday there have been no reports of blackouts on Gozo. However social media is awash with customers across the islands complaining that they cannot get an answer on either 153 or the Enemalta customer service number, when either wanting to report a power cut, or get information.

Enemalta said that this is the second week of its “response to the network difficulties caused by the ongoing heatwave.”

“With many of last week’s faults repaired, on Monday night Enemalta could use the repaired cables to restore electricity supply to customers impacted by new faults in a shorter time,” the company said.

It added that “in other areas, additional repairs to damaged cables are necessary before customers can be reconnected to the grid.”

Enemalta said that other technical teams are helping customers reporting localised faults in their individual service connection or in small areas, such as part of a street.
