The Gibraltar Electricity Authority says it apologises to all customers affected for any inconvenience caused by yesterday’s power outage.

The cause of the blackout, lasting just over an hour, was a simple human error by one of the GEA sub-contractors onsite.
Unfortunately, an employee of the sub-contractor in question accidentally dropped a heavy instruction manual on a control panel in a manner that caused the instruments on the control panel to disconnect electrical power.
