Electricity
The Public Power Corporation of Greece is DEI (DEH).
Short power cuts are a fairly common occurrence in villages and on the islands.
For a new connection complete an application form at the nearest DEH office. You will be required to produce the building plans including a declaration from a civil engineer for the total size of the property, a wiring plan signed by a Greek certified electrician, a form from the tax office and a copy of your passport. Cost depends on how far you are from the nearest existing supply and works out at around 30 - 40 Euros per meter.
Bills are issued every 2 months and include small charges for local taxes.

The cost of connection varies according to the area, but is in the region of 260 Euros, which includes a new meter. Bills are sent every 2 months and are payable at your local office. Water is metered and you pay for consumption.
