Bulgaria has registered a new record of electricity consumption over the freezing cold that has gripped the country, the Electric Energy System Operator, EESO, reported Wednesday.
On January 31, at the 20th hour, the maximum load was recorded in Bulgaria's electric power system – 7 354 MW, which exceeds the previous record of 7 270 MW, registered on January 26, 2010.
Because of the chilly weather, on Tuesday Bulgarians consumed 153 315 000 kWh of electricity - this was 6% more, compared to Monday. A new record is in the forecast for Wednesday, when the consumption is projected to reach 154 million kWh.
The tendency to increase the minimum load in the EESO, which in the early hours of February 1 was 5700 MW, continues. Estimates for the maximum load for the first day of the month are 7300 MW.
EESO assure there is sufficient capacity to meet the high load, despite the freezing temperatures lasting for a third day. Additional cold reserve is included - three blocks from the Thermal Power Plant, TPP, "Varna" while TPP "Maritza 3" in Dimitrovgrad is also working and there are sufficient water supplies, EESO announced Wednesday.
