Summary

The electricity grid operator DEDDIE has scheduled maintenance work across the Chania region from February 24 to 28, 2026, requiring temporary power cuts in a large number of villages and urban neighbourhoods. Areas affected include communities in Apokoronas, the far west of Crete around Falasarna and Elafonissi, and several streets in Chania city itself.

Safety warning: Even during a planned outage, no one should touch power lines or any part of the network — including cables lying on the ground. The network must be treated as live at all times.
