Electricity supply problems occurred in several suburbs of Greek capital Athens as of Thursday afternoon. The power outages apparently due to overload of the electricity network due to the heatwave hitting the country and millions of A/C and fans working full time.
Power outages have occurred in the suburbs of Zografou, Pagrati, Ilissia and Kaisariani. as well as in Hippocrates Politia, Kolonos, Rouf, Drapetsona, Keratsini, Piraeus, Ano Glyfada and Melissia.
According to latest information by the The Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator DEDDIE, there is a breakdown due to overload due to the heatwave and restoration of the outages is expected at 9 p.m.
Power outages have also occurred in Kalamaria, Thessaloniki, northern Greece.
What is interesting is that authorities reassured that the network will not cause any outage problems during the heatwave that practically started today, Thursday, and its peak is forecast on Friday and Saturday, July 14-15, 2023..
PS being energy-consumption aware, we started the fan at 3 p.m.
Tomorrow the A/C will be turn on after two years…
