July 3, 2026 Original source ↗ Verified source
Summary

Greece's electricity distribution operator DEDDIE has announced a series of planned power cuts across the Chania region for the week of July 5–9, 2026, to carry out essential maintenance on the network. Areas affected include parts of Chania city centre, Georgioupoli and surrounding villages, Impros, Kechres, Hamaleuri, and the entire island of Gavdos. Outages last between two and seven hours — residents who depend on electrically powered medical equipment or refrigerated goods should make arrangements in advance.

Planned Power Cuts Across the Chania Region: July 5–9, 2026

Residents across a wide stretch of the Chania region are being warned of planned electricity outages this week, as network operator DEDDIE carries out essential maintenance on the local distribution grid. The cuts affect urban neighbourhoods, rural villages, and even the remote island of Gavdos — with some areas losing power for up to seven and a half hours.

Full Schedule of Outages

  • Sunday, July 5, 2026, 08:00–15:00: Chania city centre — from the Municipal Garden (clock) along Andreou Papandreou Street to Eleftherias Square, including all side streets and cross streets (Klimatsaki patisserie, Café Feidias area)
  • Sunday, July 5, 2026, 07:30–15:00: Chania Kissamos — from the end of Skalidis Street to Kydonias Street, Smyrnis Street No. 53
  • Sunday, July 5, 2026, 07:30–10:00: The entire island of Gavdos
  • Monday, July 6, 2026, 09:00–15:00: Sasllos
  • Monday, July 6, 2026, 08:00–15:00: Impros area
  • Tuesday, July 7, 2026, 07:30–15:00: Georgioupoli (Markakis–Papadakis–Polentas areas) — Mathes — all of Kavros — Kournas — Mouri — Pathima — Kastelos — Dramia through to Mousela
  • Thursday, July 9, 2026, 08:30–15:00: Kechres — Hamaleuri (Palaion Rymaton area)

What You Should Know

These are planned outages, and DEDDIE notes that if work is completed ahead of schedule, power will be restored before the listed end time. However — and this is important — even during a scheduled cut, all power lines and network components must be treated as live. Do not approach overhead lines or any part of the electricity network, even if cables appear to have fallen to the ground. The risk of serious injury is real.

Anyone who relies on electrically powered medical equipment, or who runs a business with refrigerated stock, should plan ahead and make alternative arrangements for the duration of the outage in their area.
