Hundreds of homes and businesses in Hamrun and Sta Venera were without power for some hours today after after a contractor accidentally damaged a distribution sub-station.

The incident happened at 10.30am in Cannon Road, Sta Venera as the contractor was demolishing an old house.

The demolition work caused the partial collapse of the sub-station building after the roof was damaged.

Power was restored at about 3pm although an Enemalta sokesman said there could be other brief interruptions during testing.
