Rețeaua electrică veche de zeci de ani, o cauză a incendiilor devastatoare din Grecia. Oamenii cer despăgubiri și acum, după incendiile din 2015

In Greece, electrical infrastructure is linked to a significant portion of wildfires, with 75% of burned areas attributed to it. Despite this, the operator HEDNO disputes these claims, stating only 1% of wildfires are caused by their network. Aging overhead lines in vulnerable areas contribute to the risk, especially during high winds. Recent deadly fires have raised concerns about the need for modernization and underground cabling. Critics argue that the government is slow to address these issues, while lawsuits against HEDNO are increasing. Solutions like burying power lines are costly and complex, but necessary to mitigate fire risks.
