OR electricity for businesses it is expensive but not a given because of its troubled network DEDDEE.

As stated by Dailyaccording to research presented by the Chamber of Commerce of Athensthe businesses they will have to wait up to 3 months to connect to the network, time that translates into lost revenue, profit and of course production.

71% of businesses face power outages lasting 1-3 hours, a couple of times a year, while almost one in four, one or more times a month. Also, one in three businesses experience problems with voltage drops at least once a month. These problems, which are attributed to the outdated electricity network and its lack of maintenance by DEDDIE, have a great cost for businesses, as they cause loss of production, destruction of raw materials, but also damage to their equipment.

In addition, since last year, when DEDDIE closed its regional branches and converted the service of its customers, businesses and individuals, to fully electronic or telephone, whether it is about breakdowns or new connections, the possibility of communication was also lost.
