Crete Faces Planned Power Outages Today: HEDNO Maintenance

Saturday, 4 July 2026/Source: CretaOne/1 min read

Planned power outages are scheduled across several areas of Crete today, Saturday July 4, as announced by HEDNO (the Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator). These are maintenance-related interruptions affecting specific neighborhoods and villages. If you are staying in an affected area, expect temporary loss of electricity, which may impact air conditioning, hot water, and charging devices. Hotels and larger accommodations typically have backup generators, but smaller rentals and studios may not. Plan ahead by charging devices before the outage window, keeping water stored, and avoiding reliance on electric cooking equipment during the affected hours. Check with your accommodation host for the exact timing and whether your area is impacted. Outages are usually completed within a few hours and power is restored the same day.
