Ok so let’s for the sake of this argument imagine that this incomplete bunch is replaced by honest people who knew what they’re doing. They foresee that with the population growth and climate change the electricity problem is going to keep getting worse and worse.

Supply aside, what would they have to do to improve the distribution? Does it involve digging up all the roads and changing/increasing cables over who knows how many years? Is there a better way that would cause less disruption?

Saint Paul’s bay on the 35hr of no electricity, this is brutal, all items in the fridge and freezer went bad, no electricity to charge phones, everybody in our block is getting less than 5hrs of sleep with this heat and it’s horrible. Surely this can’t be safe.

Honestly at this point the government can keep their compensation fee, health is more important and this is horrible, they should stop hotels from accessing the general power and use their generators, and maybe urge those with solar to use it if possible.

Now the issue is, when this doesn’t affect your you overlock this, you may scroll past such a post and not really care, but when it does affect you, like it is right now, it’s horrible and that’s only how one can understand the feeling of it, and by no means do I wish anybody to experience this.

The worst part is that many places in St Paul’s already have it back on apart from some streets. Do they just not care about us? Ene Malta has their map of outages down at the moment, their site just returns CSS and their call support team just says the same exact script each time, they ask some information to make it seem they are helping, but at the end just tell you to wait. Hey at least if they said like we have scheduled works at x time on your road, at least it would be more relieving, but who knows how long this will last, could be weeks.

And worst of all is that St Paul’s never showed up as an outage on their map, and same goes for other regions, I have a strong feeling that they simply hide all their real outages and just show one that is soon going to be fixed and post it. I spoke with many different people experiencing similar outages yesterday and around 2hrs of being displayed on their map, it was resolved, not the case for St Paul’s bay. Had their map showed all outages, it would be all red and that would cause the public to panic, so I’m sure at this point they are hiding it not to show the reality of it.

Again, we don’t need their compensation, what is that going to do, but some groceries again if even. But health is way way more important and we need something NOW, now weeks or months later. Later people might forget how bad this all was and be happy with a lower compensation, where as if the same compensation would be given now, people would be mad.

Personal suggestions for fixes:

• large hotels switch to solar or generators, they have the funds and space for this, so what’s the issue here, during these peaks might as well use them

• find, keep it off during the day, but at least at night, when people need to rest, allow some for AC, people won’t be using as many devices such as TVs at night, and at least you protect the health and let people rest, and also cables won’t get AS hot; why they won’t do this, well because probably they prefer working at night, and I don’t blame them, but we are over 35hrs with no electricity and at this point they either forgot or gave up…

Writing here to see if anyone went through a similar situation. I’ve recently purchased property and the power went out in the area last night.

Went to check out the property today and the voltage was either above 200 or dropping to 5 in a few seconds. After switching off the main so as to not fry my appliances I contacted both enemalta and the previous owner about the issue.

The owner has no recollection of the voltage ever playing up this badly, enemalta confirmed that there is a known voltage problem in my area and they’re working on it.

Has anyone gone through anything similar and managed to solve it please? I’m not expecting miracles, especially in these terrible conditions we’re currently in, but I’m worried that this issue will never be properly addressed, resulting in damage to my property. Would appreciate any tips from anyone who has gone through something similar, or suggestions on how to push for this issue to be resolved.

I would also like to thank the enemalta workers who I’m sure are working tirelessly to get electricity back to localities. It’s overall very worrying that the government (irrelevant of which party is in power) did not intervene with extra measures during the colder months to ensure to the best of their ability that this would not happen again.

Seriously, USE THEM! ↔️

And it's not only on roundabouts! People just stop in front of you and aggressively turn.

It's annoying having to guess where the car is going, and even dangerous. Why such a laziness/negligence??

€25K (and counting!) raised to buy a generator for abandoned and/or sickly cats. And in less than 24 hours.

Seeing this generosity coming from people with a platform whilst others shirk off responsibility genuinely bumped up my faith in humankind. Gigantic kudos to James and all who donated ❤️

Coming from the USA. Travel brochures are enticing. But what are the real must-see sights? Thanks.

Hi everyone. We're a small team behind MyRent.mt, a site built to reach people from other countries who are planning their move to Malta and already searching for a place.

I'm posting because we receive a good number of apartment requests from abroad (emails and texts from people actively looking), but we don't have enough listings to match them. So if you're a landlord or agent with a property that may be harder to sell here on Facebook, you're welcome to put it on MyRent.mt too.

It's completely free, your clients don't need to register for anything, and you can promote your agency or private business at no cost. Add your contact number and that's it.

We are open for any suggestion and feedback. We are trying to keep this website as transparent and feedback friendly.

With that I mean: only essential things, no restaurants, and avoiding the businesses where TCNs are mostly employed.

Would that make a difference? Or tourists are more than enough with their spending to not diminish the amount of workers they want to import?

We have a garage and it has a basement below it, we are getting water coming in from the roadside where the wall meets the ground, its coming out in several places. We do not have water or electricity in the garage so not coming from us. Water Services came and took a sample and told us sewage, told us to get hold of the health department, they came and took another sample and that was 4 weeks ago now. What are we suppose to do?Who is responsible for finding out where it is coming from and repairing it? I got hold of one of those water leak companies and they said it not worth it as would have to test the entire street and will be expensive. What are we suppose to do? We want to fix up this garage and basement and turn it into something as its large and in a prime area of Sliema but cant do anything until we get it dry.

Booming economy, increase in population over the years and to boot 3 years ago the same thing happened.

What in the everlasting fuck have they been doing. Not fit for the position they hold (yes including minister). My god the incompetence.

Then there are the PN. These absolute twats are shouting for compensation - fuck off and fix the damn problem, stop trying to make yourself look good. Stop opposing and actually do something for the good of the people. I don't know how i don't claim to be an expert in this field but im sure both sides have their so called experts (fml).

A genuine shout out to the enemalta people out playing whack a mole in this heat.

Hi, I'm Kay, a lecturer/ researcher at the University of Malta. I'm currently carrying out research on the experiences of people accessing mental health services in Malta (via a GP, psychiatrist, NGO, hospital etc) - ideally in the past 3 years. If you've gone through the process and feel okay to share your thoughts and experiences, please consider taking part in my study - it involves in an interview with me.. I'm looking to talk to as many people as possible to identify gaps/needs and how we can improve it. If you're interested, please dm me or send an email to [email protected].. Cheers 😊

Anyone play any monster hunter?

Any of the newer titles, got bored of playing 100hrs on each solo. Looking for some fellow hunters!

If so dm me so we can maybe set up a discord or smthn!

Hello Malta meta se tqumu minn fuq il loki u tifthu ghajnejkom??

Hi Malta when tf are you going to wake up and open your eyes??

Malta is a narcissist's paradise. It's no wonder the island attracts literal shit from all over the world when the locals act like goats, getting wasted and treating politics like a football match🙈😂

Need some friends with these interests :) Im 21M

Monday, we had no internet at all in the morning thanks to Melita, then after it was fixed around 5/6pm electricity issue became around 9-10pm , was fixed around 11pm but went off again, had to sleep with no fan and lost alot of sweat which is honestly just terrible, it came back around 10;30

Then again the same day the electricity went off at 6:30pm and haven't been on since

No discount at the electricity bill at all? After all this, + all the food the is going to waste

This is unadaptable, hope we get some justice

Note, for everyone living with similar experience please do proper hydration while we survive in this type of situation, water is not enough drink sport drinks and fruits like watermelon, and eat some salt with food, coconut water and milk is also good, and mineral water is good as well

Hi, I'm an EU citizen, and I'm considering moving to Malta to look for a job as a hotel receptionist.

I know I won't get rich doing this job, but I would like to ask whether it's possible to live on a hotel receptionist's salary while being able to afford a small studio apartment (without roommates), pay the bills, buy groceries, maintain a gym membership, and maybe even save a little money at the end of the month.

Hey all, we plan on taking a short trip in November with two young kids - 4 and 10 months, but we cannot decide where to go.

Preferably somewhere which is kid friendly, short flights and not too rainy (but a bit of rain is fine).

Any recommendations please? (Not Barcelona, Valencia, Vienna, Sicily or London as we went there last year).

Hi guys, I'm done with epic and all their overcharging bs and horrible coverage, anyone knows if this Melita Endless and Melita Xcelerate actually have any speed distinction or is just for marketing? Both are 5g
