THERE is no plan to upgrade Gozo's ageing infrastructure, especially with regards to the power supply, despite the increasing load brought about by unfettered property development on the island, a number of Gozo mayors have lamented. Most of Gozo lost electricity on Mon- day evening and for most of Tuesday this week, leading to widespread frus- tration and condemnation by residents left to cope without electricity in the midst of a heatwave that saw tempera- tures soar to close to 38 o C. Enemalta said the widespread power outage in Gozo was the result of a fire that developed on an electricity cable. It said the fire developed on one of the electricity cables, causing a sup- ply disruption in Gozo. This fire then impacted another cable that provides electricity to Gozo.
