Parts of Gozo were without power from around 10.30pm last night due to a cable fault.

Enemalta said that the fault caused power cut in parts of Sannat, Xewkija, Victoria, Xlendi, Munxar and Fontana.

The statement from Enemalta said that the supply started to be restored at around 12.30am and by 1.40am, Sannat, Xewkija and Victoria were re-energised through an alternative supply.

Enemalta said that while inspecting the overhead lines to restore supply to the other localities, its employees noticed a high tension pole leaning towards a low tension fault.

Local residents hava also reported that their electrical safety switches were tripping intermittently throughout the night until around 5am this morning. Residents in part of Fontana said that they were still without power at 8am this morning from last night.

Enemalta said that the pole was repaired early this morning and supply was fully restored at 8 am.

Enemalta apologised for any inconvenience caused.
