Glencore posouvá termín propouštění v jihafrické huti na 7. dubna, jednání s Eskomem vstupují do finální fáze
Glencore’s South African ferrochrome plant delayed a layoff decision to April 7 after Eskom requested more time to finalize a discounted electricity deal at 62 South African cents/kWh. Up to 1,500 jobs remain at risk as only 11 of 66 smelters operate, with electricity prices up over 900% since 2008. The Glencore-Merafe venture reported a 63% drop in 2025 ferroalloy output. NERSA approval is still required for any new tariff.
