Energy Minister Miriam Dalli has said Malta’s widespread power cuts were caused by extreme temperatures and record electricity demand, as the country continues to grapple with outages during the ongoing heatwave.Speaking to Times of Malta yesterday, Dalli said the situation being experienced locally was similar to the power disruptions that affected Germany, France and Italy just a few weeks ago.She stressed that the government is investing more than ever in strengthening Malta’s electricity distribution network to ensure it is safer and more resilient in the years ahead.Following her comments on Monday, thousands of residents across several localities experienced power cuts last night, with Enemalta attributing the outages to faults on the electricity distribution network during a period of unprecedented demand.Dalli said the current challenges underline the importance of the ongoing upgrades, which are aimed at preparing the network for increasing electricity consumption and more frequent extreme weather events.What do you make of her comments?•
