Serious power supply problems remain in the northern suburbs of Athens as another PPC medium voltage transformer in Kato Kifissia shorted out, drowning other areas of Attica in darkness.
According to SKAI, the short circuit also created a small fire, leaving entire building blocks without electricity.

250,000 homes without electricity

“Yesterday, around 20 medium voltage damages were recorded in the northern suburbs and by the end of the day there was a low open number in the single digits as more than 200 trees had fallen into the network. After last night’s snowfall , the day has started very strong, the total damages to the network, yesterday and today, have exceeded 85 medium voltage lines, in several municipalities, such as Agios Stefanos, Dionysos, Anixi, Stamata, Kourkon etc. “The number of trees that have been broken is triple digits, about 600 to 700 trees, and is expected to reach four digits, “he said.

However, it is unknown when the damage to the electrical system will be repaired. According to Mr. Manos, tomorrow a titanic attempt will be made to repair the damage to the medium voltage lines, but the small damages in all the auxiliary roads, in the secondary lines, will take days.
