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. Last summer demand rose as high as 9,400 MW as the People of the Book turned on air conditioners en masse. But as the summer wears on, the IEC is anticipating that demand will exceed 10,000 MW.
