A short power cut in several areas of Malta and Gozo this morning was caused when the cooling water pump of the combined turbine at Delimara power station tripped at around 9.15 a.m., a spokesman for Enemalta said.

The spokesman said that the power cut lasted five minutes at Marsascala and the Freeport and 15 to 20 minutes in other parts of the country including Naxxar, Attard, Bugibba, Mosta and parts of Gozo.
