The 35/10 kV energy transformer in the "Bijeljina IV" substation overheated due to extremely high temperatures and heavy load, causing the fuse on the transformer to blow, "Elektro-Bijeljina" reported.

According to this company, the residents in settlements Gvozdevici, Tombak, the streets of Galac and Loznicka, as well as in Pucila, Patkovaca and Golo Brdo, are currently without electricity, InfoBijeljina wrote.

“Elektro-Bijeljina” workers and the Professional Fire Department are trying to cool down the transformer and normalize the electricity supply.

“We appeal to citizens to use the electricity as rationally as possible, in order to avoid situations like this,” “Elektro-Bijeljina” said.

The high temperatures affecting Bosnia have also caused problems with water supply in parts of the country, and the Sarajevo water company appealed to citizens to use water rationally.
