Crete Faces Planned Power Outages Tuesday for Network Upgrades

Monday, 15 June 2026/Source: CretaOne/1 min read

Planned power outages are scheduled across several areas of Crete on Tuesday, June 15, as part of maintenance, reinforcement, and network upgrade works carried out by HEDNO (the Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator). These are scheduled interruptions, not emergency failures, and are typical for infrastructure improvement during the summer season. Tourists staying in affected areas may experience temporary loss of electricity, which could impact air conditioning, phone charging, and some hotel services. If you are planning activities that depend on power, such as cooking at a rental villa or using electric vehicle chargers, check with your accommodation about the expected duration and exact streets affected. Outages are usually completed within a few hours. Local businesses and accommodations are generally prepared for these scheduled cuts.
