Parts of Iklin, Birkirkara and San Ġwann suffered a power outage on Monday night.

Enemalta said there was a fault in a cable in Birkirkara just before 8 p.m. Power started being restored at 9.55 p.m. and was back to all the affected areas shortly before midnight.

Enemalta has been subject to popular anger after a nationwide power cut on March 22 was followed by another on April 2, which happened to be Good Friday, when many people were out on the streets following religious processions.

The last black-out was also the fourth nationwide blackout in less than a year.
