Incendiile devastatoare din Grecia, legate de rețeaua electrică. Aproape 75% din suprafața arsă în 2026 ar avea această cauză

Nearly 75% of the area affected by wildfires in Greece this year is linked to the electrical network, according to preliminary data. Fires often start from sparks caused by electrical infrastructure under favorable weather conditions. Recent incidents in Attica and Crete have resulted in significant destruction and fatalities. Critics argue that Greece has delayed modernizing its electrical network, which was built decades ago and is prone to fire risks. The government faces pressure to prioritize infrastructure improvements in high-risk areas, while the energy distribution operator disputes the extent of the network's role in causing wildfires.
