Wednesday, 17 June 2026/Source: CretaOne/1 min read

Planned power outages are scheduled across several areas of Crete today, Wednesday, June 17, as part of maintenance, reinforcement, and upgrade works carried out by HEDNO (the Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator). These interruptions are temporary and related to infrastructure improvements rather than any emergency or fault. Tourists staying in affected areas may experience disruptions to air conditioning, charging facilities, and other electrical services for portions of the day. If you are in a hotel or rental property and lose power, it is likely part of a scheduled outage and should be restored within a few hours. It is advisable to charge devices in advance, keep water bottles filled, and check with your accommodation for the specific timing affecting your location. HEDNO typically announces affected villages and time windows through local announcements.
