Un vinovat major neașteptat pentru incendiile de vegetație care au lovit Grecia în ultimii ani, dezvăluit de anchete

Recent investigations reveal that Greece's outdated electrical network is a major cause of wildfires, accounting for 75% of burned areas this year. Fires often ignite under extreme conditions, exacerbating their spread and severity. The aging infrastructure, installed decades ago, is prone to sparks from vegetation contact and dust accumulation, especially during high-demand periods. Critics argue that the government has been slow to address these issues, while the energy distribution operator disputes the claims about the network's role in wildfires. The cost of undergrounding the network is estimated at 35 billion euros, prompting a focus on high-risk areas first.
