Hydroelectric plants produce most of the remaining power, with just four percent coming from solar or wind.
The drought has made nearby areas more susceptible to landslides, as the soil dries out and loosens.
In the nearby Jablanica area, at least 27 people were killed by sudden heavy rains in October that flooded towns and triggered landslides.
Scientists warn that climate change is making extreme weather events more frequent.
