Scheduled power outages are taking place across several areas of Crete today, Thursday, April 30, as announced by DEDDIE (the Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator). These are planned maintenance interruptions, not emergency failures, affecting various neighborhoods and localities across the island.
Tourists staying in the affected areas may experience temporary loss of electricity, which could impact air conditioning, hot water systems, and device charging. Accommodation providers in affected zones are typically informed in advance and may have backup arrangements in place.
If you are planning activities that rely on electricity today, such as cooking in a rental villa or working remotely, check with your host or hotel whether your specific address is affected. Outages are generally scheduled during daytime hours and resolved by evening. Full area details are available on the DEDDIE website.
