Reporting a power cut
Enemalta's 24/7 fault line is 8000 2224, free from any Maltese number. This is the one that creates an official fault ticket. You can also report through the government freephone 153(servizz.gov) or Enemalta's online power cut form, and their outage map at enemalta.com.mt/map shows official works and known faults.
Worth knowing:a widely shared older number, 8007 2224, is Enemalta's line for other difficulties. For power cuts, 8000 2224 is the correct one.
Free SMS alerts for planned outages
Enemalta runs a free SMS notification service for scheduled maintenance in your area: text your ID card number to 7905 2492 and alerts about planned works arrive automatically. Two minutes of setup, and planned cuts stop being surprises.

During a live cut
The Bla Dawl live map shows crowd-reported cuts across all 68 Maltese localities in real time, including the streets people name and when power starts coming back. It does not replace an official report to Enemalta, so do both: one call to 8000 2224, two taps on the map.
