This number is close to last year's level when a consumption of around 26,500 megawatt-hours was registered on 27 January 2011. As EVN Macedonia informs, the absolute record-breaking consumption was registered on 31 December 2008 when it reached 27,797 megawatt-hours and on 6 January 2009 it got close to the record and reached 26,800 megawatt-hours.
