Editing Santorini (section)

=== Electricity ===
Electricity for both Santorini and Therasia is principally supplied from the Thira Autonomous Power Station which is located at Monolithos in the eastern part of Santorini. Owned by [[Public Power Corporation]] (PPC) it has generators powered by diesel engines and gas turbines. The two islands have a total installed capacity of 75.09 MW of thermal generation and 0.25 MW of renewable generation.<ref>{{Cite web |last=GeoEnergy |first=Think |date=19 January 2018 |title=Greek island of Santorini partners with PPC Renewables on geothermal project {{!}} ThinkGeoEnergy – Geothermal Energy News |url=https://www.thinkgeoenergy.com/greek-island-of-santorini-partners-with-ppc-renewables-on-geothermal-project/ |access-date=5 May 2022 |language=en-US |archive-date=5 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220505080122/https://www.thinkgeoenergy.com/greek-island-of-santorini-partners-with-ppc-renewables-on-geothermal-project/ |url-status=live }}</ref> There is a programme underway at a cost of €124 million as part of the Cyclades Interconnection Project to connect the island via a submarine cable to Naxos and hence by extension to the mainland system by 2023.<ref>{{cite web |title=Santorini-Naxos grid link tender set to be announced by IPTO |publisher=Energy Press |date=29 December 2020 |url=https://energypress.eu/santorini-grid-link-project-with-naxos-set-to-be-announced-by-ipto/ |access-date=22 January 2021 |archive-date=20 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210120200242/https://energypress.eu/santorini-grid-link-project-with-naxos-set-to-be-announced-by-ipto/ |url-status=live}}</ref>

A fire at the power station in Monolithos on 13 August 2018 put it out of service, resulting in a total loss of electricity supply across the two islands. Within four days electricity had been restored to all but 10% of the islands' consumers. Vessels were dispatched to carry two power generators to assist in supporting the restoration of the electricity supply.<ref>{{cite web |title=Interior, tourism ministers to Santorini to check power problems |publisher=[[Kathimerini]] |date=16 August 2013 |url=https://www.ekathimerini.com/153034/article/ekathimerini/news/interior-tourism-ministers-to-santorini-to-check-power-problems |access-date=15 January 2021 |archive-date=24 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230424165248/https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/153034/interior-tourism-ministers-to-santorini-to-check-power-problems/ |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Power supply returning to normal on Santorini |publisher=[[Kathimerini]] |date=17 August 2013 |url=https://www.ekathimerini.com/153057/article/ekathimerini/news/power-supply-returning-to-normal-on-santorini |access-date=17 January 2021 |archive-date=24 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230424165250/https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/153057/power-supply-returning-to-normal-on-santorini/ |url-status=live}}</ref>

Electricity is distributed around the island by The Hellenic Electricity Distribution System Operator (HEDNO S.A. or DEDDIE S.A.) which is a 100% owned subsidiary of PPC. A cable connects the Thirasia and Santorini electrical distribution systems.
