People living in the southern part of Corfu have been told about a planned power cut on Monday, 6 October 2025. HEDNO, the electricity distribution operator, says supply will be switched off from 08:30-14:00 in several neighborhoods around Lefkimmi so crews can carry out maintenance on medium-voltage lines and related equipment.
How long will the disruption last?
The outage is planned for 08:30-14:00. It might wrap up sooner than expected, HEDNO says. Still, treat the network as live at all times, even if the lights seem to come back on for a while.
Why this timing matters for residents and businesses
A morning-to-early-afternoon cut hits everyday plans: shop hours, small workshops, school runs, work-from-home. A bit of prep goes a long way and can spare the Lefkimmi area and nearby settlements a lot of hassle.
Which areas are affected?
The operator lists the following areas in and around Lefkimmi:
- Lefkimmi
- Rigglades
- Ag. Theodoroi
- Alykes Lefkimmi
- Aerofaros
- Molos (Lefkimmi)
Who announced the works?
The notice comes from HEDNO’s Corfu regional unit. They did not provide a street-by-street list.
What caused the outage?
The cut allows crews to do essential maintenance on medium-voltage trunk lines and related equipment. These preventive jobs help improve reliability and keep the network safer.
How will crews operate?
HEDNO did not share operational details. The key reminder: assume lines are live throughout the window, since power may be restored earlier than the timetable.
When will power be restored?
If everything goes to plan, power should be back by 14:00 on Monday. Because crews may finish sooner, don’t count on a fixed return time; keep following basic electrical safety.
What should residents do now?
- Unplug sensitive electronics or use surge protection.
- Avoid using elevators during the scheduled window.
- Keep fridge and freezer doors closed to hold the cold.
- Businesses should let customers know about any hour changes and plan for payment/IT systems.
- Check on elderly neighbors or anyone with medical needs who relies on powered devices.
Where to find more information?
For updates, follow HEDNO’s official channels and local municipal announcements in Corfu. If you run into problems outside the announced window, report them to the operator’s fault service right away.
