The area around Sliema suffered a power cut this afternoon when a  feeder leading to Msieraħ distribution centre developed a fault at 1.41 p.m., Enemalta said. The fault led to a tripping of another three feeders and caused a power cut affecting Sliema, Gżira, Msida and Ta’ Xbiex.

Supply was restored to parts of those localities when the feeders were switched on again just before 2 p.m. 

The power supply to the other areas was restored by 3.30 p.m.
