BURNING TOPIC

BURNING TOPIC: While the full details were unavailable at the time of going to print, Eskom had confirmed a 62c/kWh offer to two ferrochrome producers in a bid to salvage smelter demand that was on the edge of closure. Whether the rest of society and the regulator will approve of the discount remains to be seen. If it is approved, Eskom has promised to make available a standard offer to other smelters, such as Transalloys, whose Mpumalanga operations are pictured here.
