An. Manos: We do what can be done

For his part, the CEO of HEDNO said: “As we have done before, our goal is to be able to further strengthen the front in the northern suburbs of Attica. When a home, such as medium voltage areas are electrified, does not have electricity, you should definitely take care of it and in turn declare it competent, that is, either in the call center, the well-known HEDNO telephone, or on the Internet, or in the application. The reason is to record the point where there is no current. Because the average voltage is passing, but some wire from the last disconnected house may have been broken by a single branch. This may not be easy to see. Therefore, it is important that this information is bi-directional. “

Our staff is completely dedicated to their duty. It does what it can. It works without sleep, we go food to places and from there and then even minor accidents have occurred so that they can empower our people. We do what can be done. All citizens will receive electricity. Here in the northern suburbs, there are hundreds of fallen logs and we collect them with the help and support and cooperation of Civil Protection, Fire Brigade and Army. It was a huge area of ​​logs, not branches, of whole logs that collapsed, snapped and cut the cables. I cannot predict that we will give way in a row and suddenly discover that behind a road there is a new trunk that has fallen. We coordinate, we try, we update the information, we rush ”.
