HEDNO has announced a series of scheduled power cuts for the coming days in areas of the Municipality of Spata–Artemida, with the most extensive one affecting the centre of Artemida on Tuesday 20 October. The power cuts are being carried out to allow for work on the grid and, as always, may last for less time than announced or be postponed if weather conditions so require.
Where and when
Friday 16 October, 08:00–17:00 — Paiania plain towards the airport. The disruption affects the area from Spata–Koropi Avenue towards the airport, within the boundaries of the municipalities of Paiania, Koropi and Spata, as well as unnamed rural roads. This mainly affects farms and businesses in the area.
Saturday 17 October, 08:00–13:00 — Spata, Petres area. Parts of Spata–Pikermi Avenue, Eleftherias Street and unnamed rural roads in the area will be without electricity.
Saturday 17 October, 08:00–17:00 — streets not specified by settlement. On the same day, HEDNO has announced a nine-hour power cut on streets such as Pentikostis, Protomagia, Kefallinias, Nafplio, Rethymno, Crete, Emmanouil Konstantinou and a series of numbered streets (5th, 9th, 29th, etc.), without the settlement being specified in the announcement. If you live on any of these streets, please check your address on the HEDNO map of planned power cuts.
Tuesday 20 October, 08:00–16:00 — Artemida (Loutsa). The longest power cut of the week: eight hours without electricity on Vravrona Avenue and on the streets of Ivis, Reas, Hera, Tritonos, Atlantos, Nereos, Proteos, Orpheos, Aeolus, Apollonos, Agia Triada, Mesolongiou, Filonos and neighbouring areas.
What to do
- Unplug sensitive devices (computers, televisions, routers) before 08:00 to prevent them from being damaged by a sudden power restoration.
- Keep fridges and freezers closed; this will help them maintain their temperature for several hours.
- Treat the mains supply as live throughout the outage: power may return earlier without warning.
- If you have any medical equipment at home that relies on electricity, make alternative arrangements (battery, moving to another room) for the duration of the power cut.
- In the event of faults, or if the power does not return after the announced end time, the HEDNO fault reporting helpline is 800 400 4000.
Businesses in these areas — particularly those that use refrigerators, POS terminals or electronic systems—are advised to plan their operations accordingly, particularly in view of Tuesday’s eight-hour power cut in the centre of Artemida.
