Boiler No. 2 at the Delimara power station tripped leaving Tarxien, Bulebel, Marsascala, Sliema, Mosta, Naxxar and Buġibba without electricity early yesterday morning.

Enemalta Corporation said the boiler tripped at 7.30 a.m. and employees acted quickly to avoid a widespread blackout by shedding the load. Most of the areas had their supply restored within 45 minutes.

While apologising for any inconvenience caused, Enemalta reminded customers to report any faults and power interruptions on freephone 8007 2224.
