Malta suffers second nationwide power cut in a month

Malta suffered a nation-wide power cut on Monday, the second in less than a month, shutting off electricity to all homes, businesses and factories and causing rush-hour road chaos as traffic lights went dark. State-owned energy provider Enemalta confirmed that there was no power anywhere on Malta and said a problem with a cable supplying power from Sicily to Malta appeared to be the cause. Another recent power outage, on Nov. 26, was also caused by a fault in the Sicily-to-Malta undersea cable.
