The Malta Employers’ Association, in a statement this morning, said that it is calling on the Government to compensate businesses who have suffered damages, including payment of wages, due to the nationwide power cut last Tuesday.

The MEA pointed out that “many companies had people turn up for work but were unable to operate.”

The Association concluded by saying that “Maltese businesses paid the highest commercial energy rates in the EU, whereas household rates are close to the EU average, therefore businesses deserve priority in any compensation awarded for the power cuts.”
