A power cut affected several localities this afternoon.
Readers reported a power cut in parts of Marsascala, Iklin, Mosta, Birkirkara, Sliema, Pembroke, Paceville, Zebbug and Swieqi. Lights went out at 3.03 p.m. Some areas reported restoration of service after about an hour.
In other localities power was lost for just a few seconds.
According to Enemalta, the problem started when a fault developed at a cable that runs between Marsa power station and Sta Venera.
The fault caused a power station generator to shut down but the corporation's technicians and engineers intervened immediatly and power started to be restored to some localities at 3.31 p.m.
By 4.30 p.m., power was restored in every locality.
Enemalta apologised for the inconvenience.
