Enemalta responded to over 400 calls for assistance to repair damages caused by the storms that hit Malta since Thursday evening.

Overhead power lines, electricity poles and several street lights were damaged, the company said.

Additional teams of distribution technicians were called in to assist with the required repairs, which continued day and night throughout the weekend until Monday morning. Reports of damages causing supply disruptions and dangerous situations were given priority.

In some cases, repairs cannot take place at night or during rough weather to safeguard the technicians’ safety.

Executive chairman Fredrick Azzopardi said that in such situations, customer care representatives, technicians, engineers and other Enemalta employees are required to work under pressure and in difficult conditions to coordinate and complete repairs in the shortest time possible.

He thanked the individuals who reported the damage or helped in the response operations during the last few days.
