Power cuts planned across Chania villages from June 29 to July 3

Summary

Greece's electricity distribution operator DEDDIE has scheduled a series of planned power cuts across multiple villages and neighbourhoods in the Chania area between June 29 and July 3, 2026. Affected communities include Plemeniána, Kopetói, Malaxá, Imvros, Sarakína, Megála Choráfia and several streets in Chania town. Outages will last between three and seven hours depending on the area, and residents who depend on electrically powered equipment should plan accordingly.

Power cuts across Chania area: what you need to know

Households and businesses in a string of villages and neighbourhoods around Chania will lose electricity for several hours each day between June 29 and July 3, 2026. The cuts are planned by DEDDIE, the Greek electricity distribution network operator, to allow engineers to carry out essential maintenance work on the local grid.

If work is completed ahead of schedule, power will be restored before the stated end time. However, DEDDIE warns that all cables and network components should be treated as live at all times — even if they appear to be de-energised, and even if they are lying on the ground. Do not approach or touch any lines or equipment.
