Power Cuts Planned for Crete's Rethymno and Chania Sunday

Saturday, 18 April 2026/CretaOne/1 
Planned power outages will affect parts of the Rethymno and Chania regional units in Crete on Sunday, April 19. The cuts are being carried out by DEDDIE, the Greek electricity distribution network operator, as part of scheduled maintenance and infrastructure work. Affected areas may experience temporary disruptions to electricity supply during the day. If you are staying in these regions, expect possible interruptions to air conditioning, hot water systems, and electronic devices. Hotels and larger accommodations typically have backup generators, but smaller guesthouses or rental properties may not. It is advisable to charge devices in advance, avoid scheduling laundry or other electricity-dependent tasks during the outage window, and check with your accommodation for the specific hours and areas affected in your location.
