Glencore plc Faces Eskom Power Deal Deadline in South Africa as Ferrochrome Jobs Hang in Balance

Glencore plc står over for Eskom-strømhandelsfrist i Sydafrika, mens job i ferrochrom-industrien hænger i en tynd tråd

Glencore’s South African ferrochrome operations face a Tuesday deadline to secure lower electricity rates from Eskom, with layoffs paused for only a week. Eskom and Glencore have agreed in principle to a 62-cent/kWh rate, pending regulatory approval, but key terms remain unresolved. Only 11 of 66 smelters are operating as electricity costs have soared over 900% since 2008. Merafe reported a 63% drop in joint venture ferrochrome output for 2025.

Glencore Pushes South Africa Smelter Job-Cut Deadline to April 7 as Eskom Talks Enter Final Week

Glencore udsætter frist for jobnedskæringer på sydafrikansk smelteværk til 7. april, mens Eskom-forhandlinger går ind i sidste uge

Glencore has postponed a decision on potential layoffs at its South African ferrochrome operations to April 7 after Eskom requested more time to finalize a discounted electricity deal. The industry has lost most of its smelters due to electricity tariffs rising over 900% since 2008. Only 11 of 66 smelters remain operational. Up to 1,500 jobs are at risk if a 62-cent per kWh tariff is not secured.
