Power station’s emergency sirens to sound off for 20 seconds

If you live close to the power station in Delimara and you hear a siren sounding off at 9am tomorrow morning, don’t panic. It’s just emergency testing.

The energy provider will tomorrow be testing the emergency alarms at the Delimara power station. The alarms will be sounded for 20 seconds at 0900hrs, as part of a procedure carried out every year to test the Company’s readiness for emergency situations at this power station.

“Enemalta plc keeps individuals who live or work close to the power station informed about the actions they would need to take in case of major accidents,” a spokesperson for Enemalta said.

“The sounding of the emergency alarms is one of the safety measures used to alert these communities in such situations.”

Enemalta also liaises with several national entities and authorities to keep them regularly updated with all developments that may affect their response and support in case of emergency.  These emergency preparedness and response procedures are planned and implemented in adherence to the applicable legislation, including the Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) Regulations.    

For further assistance, the public can contact Enemalta’s customer care team on 8007 2224 or [email protected].
