Demand for electricity reached a record 9,500 megawatts (για 7,1Μ κατοίκους) on Tuesday afternoon, the Israel Electric Corporation said. Its maximal capacity is 10,500 MW. The IEC warns that a single systems breakdown means it may not be able to supply the demand. Israel is suffering from a heat wave this week. Temperatures in the country's center peaked at 42 degrees on Tuesday afternoon, the utility said. The prior peak demand was 9,450 MW during a cold snap in December 2006.
