Many households in Malta are once again experiencing power cuts, with those affected reaching the thousands. 

MaltaToday is informed that among the localities which are currently hit by the power cuts are Xgħajra, Dingli, Attard, Żebbuġ, Paola, Marsaxlokk, Marsaskala, Iklin, Luqa, Marsa, Żejtun and Mosta.

The cause of the power cut is yet to be announced. 

Last year, Maltese households and businesses were constantly reporting power cuts, as Enemalta had claimed that the power cuts were largely caused by cable faults, and had nothing to do with overloads. 

Last February, Enemalta's executive chairman Ryan Fava said that Enemalta would not be able to guarantee the country a “security of energy supply” during peak summer months, without a new 60MW “temporary” diesel-powered “emergency plant” in Delimara.
