The EPS company said Tuesday power consumption is about one-fifth higher than the average for July, reaching record highs.
Temperatures this week in the Balkans have reached 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit), prompting the authorities in Serbia and Croatia to issue warnings to people to stay away from the sun and drink water.
