Electricity distribution reduced due to heat wave

Polskie Sieci Energetyczne (PSE), the national electricity transmission operator, decided to decrease electricity supply from 10 am until 10 pm due to the heat wave and outdated power plants and energy networks. Large manufacturing plants will receive the minimum supply which allows for basic operations. Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz said that as many as 1,600 enterprises will suffer from the cut. ArcelorMittal Poland announced that it will decrease the output in its Polish mills. Individual receivers are not affected, as for now. PSE had warned late last week that the heat wave was pushing the system t6o its maximum capacity and had requested reduced mid-day consumption.
