# The Glencore Merafe Chrome Venture has backed Eskom’s call to fast-track electricity tariff relief for the struggling ferrochrome sector. The proposal is under review by the National Energy Regulator of South Africa. The venture says delays threaten jobs and operations, with some smelters already idle. It warned that regulatory certainty is urgently needed before mid-May to avoid further job losses and ensure the industry’s long-term sustainability.
