Transalloys wants electricity tariff relief extended to full ferroalloys sector

Transalloys, which produces manganese ferroalloys at a smelter complex in Mpumalanga, has again warned that its operations are at risk of closure should the electricity tariff relief granted and being contemplated for the ferrochrome sector not be extended to other ferroalloy producers. In a statement released ahead of the 2026 Budget, CEO Konstantin Sadovnik said while he was not optimistic that meaningful electricity tariff relief for the wider smelting sector would be announced by the Finance Minister, such relief was urgently needed.
