# Eskom has concluded a 62-cents per kilowatt-hour electricity tariff agreement with Samancor Chrome and Glencore–Merafe Chrome ferrochrome smelters, as part of a new pricing approach for energy-intensive users. According to the utility, the deal is intended to improve its finances, secure stable demand, and support key industries, but it still requires approval from energy regulator, Nersa. Eskom spokesperson Daphne Mokwena says the plan will help protect jobs and allow more flexible pricing for big electricity users over the next five-years.
