Steel group to approach Nersa for power-tariff relief

Steel producer ArcelorMittal South Africa (AMSA) says it will submit site-specific applications to the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) to secure tariff relief from Eskom for its operations in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape. The submissions will be made in line with the framework for negotiated pricing agreements (NPAs) that is now said to be in place and AMSA anticipates that a determination could be made within three months of the applications being made.
