Extreme snowfall brings power supply problems in several areas nationwide

Several regions in Greece are experiencing problems in electricity supply as a result of the 'Elpis' cold weather front and the snowfall sweeping across the country on Monday and forecast to continue Tuesday.
The Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator (HEDNO) said its crews are working to restore power supply services in the following areas:
- East Attica, at Marathonos Avenue in Pallini, and in Anthoussa
- Evia island, in the villages of Mantoudi, Aliveri, Psachna and Oreous
- Central Greece, near Lake Iliki in the Thebes (Thiva) area, and southern Mt. Pilio
Problems are also reported in the northeastern Aegean islands of Chios, Ikaria and Limnos, in the Cyclades islands of Amorgos, Kythnos, Mikonos, Milos, Naxos, Paros, Serifos, Sifnos, and Syros.
On the island of Crete, problems are encountered in Chania (NW) villages, while two electricity crew members have been dispatched to the Lassithi Plain (NE), where snowfall is heavy, to remain overnight for any problems.
The regions of Macedonia-Thrace, the Peloponnese, the Ionian Islands and western Central Greece are not facing any serious issues so far.
