The PX Group has issued a statement following yesterday’s power outage in Gibraltar, confirming the disruption was linked to an apparent failure at its LNG re-gasification plant.

A spokesperson from PX Group said: “This afternoon's power failure in Gibraltar arose from an apparent failure of equipment, which controls the supply of liquid natural gas (LNG) from the px operated re-gasification plant to the power station.  We apologise for this failure and are working hard to resolve the problem, to understand the exact cause and to prevent a recurrence.”
