Residents and businesses in Ta' Xbiex are having to do without electricity for a second day in a row.
Yesterday, a fault in a transformer in the distribution system left the area without electricity from 1pm to 8pm.
The power went out again today shortly after 1200, and many business owners contacted Times of Malta complaining that these outages were costing them a lot of money.
“We never had anything of the sort – and Ta’ Xbiex is a hub of financial services and insurances companies. For the second day running we have workers sitting at their desk unable to work,” said one irate business owner.
Enemalta said the areas affected by today's outage were Ta' Xbiex, Guardamangia and Marsa. The fault is related to yesterday's outage. Repairs are expected to take "not more than three hours".
