Crete Extends Backup Power Generation Until Mainland Grid Connected

Thursday, 25 June 2026/SourceGoogle News/1 min read
Crete's grid operator has extended the operation of 130 MW of backup power generation units on the island. These reserve units will remain active until the large-scale electricity interconnection linking Crete to the mainland Greek grid is fully operational. The interconnection project aims to integrate Crete into the national power network, improving energy reliability across the island. For visitors, this means stable electricity supply is expected to continue without disruption during the transition period. No power cuts or service interruptions are anticipated for hotels, resorts, or tourist facilities as a result of this measure.
