Power cuts planned across Chania region: Check if your village is affected this week

Summary

Greece's electricity distribution operator DEDDIE has announced planned power cuts across multiple areas of the Chania region from Sunday, September 20 to Saturday, September 26, 2026, to carry out essential maintenance on the grid. Villages and areas affected include Nerokourou, Kavros, Kournas, Zounaki, Vlyties, Agia, Alikiano, and Platanias, among others — with outages running from 8am into the early afternoon on each day. Residents are warned that power could be restored earlier than scheduled, meaning all cables and network components must be treated as live at all times.

Power Cuts Planned Across Chania Region: Full Schedule

Residents across a wide swathe of the Chania region should be prepared for planned electricity outages during the week of September 20–26, 2026. Greece's electricity distribution company, DEDDIE, will be carrying out essential technical maintenance on the local grid — work that requires temporary interruptions to supply in a series of villages and areas on different days.
