South Africa Grants Ferrochrome Producers 35% Electricity Tariff Cut
National Energy Regulator (NERSA) approved Eskom's—the state-owned power utility's—application to adjust tariffs for two ferrochrome operations due to power costs changes, a Western news outlet reported.
The government will fund the tariff gap for 12 months starting January 2026, NERSA official Willibrod Majola stressed.
🟠Current tariff: 1.36 rand ($0.0864)/kWh
🟠New tariff: 87.74 SA cents/kWh
Standard tariff customers should not bear the cost of the optimization, he added.
