Real-time utility outage tracking for Greece
Outage.gr is a free, crowdsourced platform that helps millions of Greek residents report and monitor power, water, and internet outages as they happen.
Our Mission
When the lights go out, most people have no idea if it is just their building or the whole neighborhood. They call DEDDIE, wait on hold, and still have no real answer. We built Outage.gr to change that. Outage.gr gives every resident the power to instantly see whether others nearby are affected, confirm the outage, and track restoration — all anonymously and in seconds. No accounts, no personal data, just fast, transparent utility status for everyone.
How It Works
Report
A resident loses power, water, or internet. They open Outage.gr and submit a quick anonymous report — the outage type, location (GPS or search), and optionally their provider and any damages.
Verify
Other residents in the area see the report on the live map and confirm it with one tap. The verification score rises, and the outage becomes more visible to the community.
Resolve
When service is restored, the original reporter marks the outage as resolved. It moves to the history archive for record-keeping and future analysis.
Our Methodology
Every report has a 1-hour activity window. As long as new confirmations or comments come in, the report stays active. If no activity occurs within one hour, it naturally expires. This self-cleaning mechanism ensures the map always reflects the current reality. All reports are anonymous — we use a random device fingerprint stored in your browser, not personal data. This means anyone can report freely without fear of identification.
DEDDIE Integration
Beyond crowdsourced reports, we integrate official scheduled maintenance data from DEDDIE (the Greek power distribution operator). Our automated pipeline scrapes, geocodes, and displays upcoming planned outages so you know about them before they happen.
Open & Free
Outage.gr is completely free to use. We believe utility status information should be accessible to everyone, especially during emergencies. The platform is available in Greek and English, covering all of Greece from Athens to the smallest islands.
