Malta's opposition and environmental group criticize government over power cuts

Malta's opposition Nationalist Party (PN) and environmental organization Flimkien għal Ambjent Aħjar (FAA) have expressed strong concern over ongoing power outages across the country.

The PN stated that the electricity crisis is directly damaging Malta's tourism industry. According to the party, the frequent disruptions undermine official efforts by the government and the Malta Tourism Authority to transition the sector toward higher quality standards.

In a separate statement, environmental NGO FAA argued that the blackouts underscore the urgent need to construct climate-resilient buildings. The group highlighted that modern building standards must better adapt to extreme heat and prevent excessive strain on the power grid.
