Scheduled Power Outages Across Crete Today for Network Maintenance

Monday, 20 April 2026/: CretaOne/1

Power outages are scheduled across several areas of Crete today, Monday, April 20, as part of planned maintenance, reinforcement, and upgrade works carried out by HEDNO (the Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator). These are scheduled interruptions, not emergency failures. Affected areas may experience temporary loss of electricity during the day while crews complete network improvements. Tourists staying in impacted zones should expect brief disruptions to air conditioning, charging, and other electrical services. Hotels and larger accommodations typically have backup generators for essential services. If you are relying on electric vehicle charging or medical equipment, plan accordingly and check with your accommodation about backup power availability. The works are temporary and aim to improve grid reliability across the island for the coming tourist season.
