flag Glencore may quit South Africa government talks on electricity discount, risking 1,500 jobs amid high costs and Chinese competition.

flag Glencore’s South African ferrochrome unit may abandon government talks over a proposed electricity discount from R1.36 to R0.62 per kWh, calling the terms unacceptable. flag The company warns up to 1,500 jobs could be cut without relief, as high energy costs and Chinese competition have left only 11 of 66 smelters operational. flag While Samancor Chrome also opposes the deal’s conditions, Glencore deferred layoffs until March 31 to continue negotiations. flag The proposal requires regulatory approval, but specific conditions remain undisclosed.
