Enemalta has said in its latest update on Wednesday that it has repaired 59 of the 82 cable faults registered during the last nine days.

One new high voltage cable fault was registered in the country’s electricity distribution system on Tuesday night, it said.

It added that this was down from 13 the previous night, as its technical teams “continued working to restore the network’s flexibility as soon as possible.”

Enemalta said that the only high voltage network fault recorded on Tuesday night affected customers in parts of Safi and Kirkop. “Electricity supply to these consumers was restored in less than 75 minutes.”

During the night, Enemalta said it “continued repairing the underground cable faults caused by the heatwave that hit Malta during the last nine days. All areas affected by these faults except for two areas in Qormi, were reconnected to the grid through alternative connections by Wednesday morning.”

Meanwhile, it said that “the Company’s Customer Response Teams are engaged in a separate 24/7 programme of works across Malta and Gozo to repair smaller damages to the low voltage network, which distributes electricity from substations to individual customers.”

Enemalta said that “such faults, which are normally reported by customers, affect the supply of individual customers or very small areas, such as part of a street.”
