Summary

Greece's electricity distribution operator DEDDIE has announced a series of planned power cuts across the Chania region between October 5 and 9, 2026, to carry out essential maintenance on the grid. Villages and neighbourhoods affected include Kalyves, Vamos, Gavalochori, Syrікari, parts of Chania city and Souda, as well as several smaller settlements. Outages will last between one and seven hours depending on the area, and power may be restored earlier if work finishes ahead of schedule.

Planned power cuts across the Chania region, October 5–9, 2026

Residents across a wide stretch of the Chania region should prepare for temporary electricity outages next week, as grid operator DEDDIE carries out planned maintenance work. The cuts affect a large number of villages and urban neighbourhoods, spread across five days. Anyone relying on electrically powered medical equipment or refrigerated goods should make arrangements in advance.

What you need to know

The outages are planned for necessary technical work on the distribution network. If work is completed ahead of schedule, power will be restored before the listed end time. This is precisely why residents must treat all power lines and network components as live at all times — even if they appear to have fallen to the ground. Approaching or touching any part of the network during this period is strictly prohibited and poses a serious risk of injury.
