This will be interesting.
I am so glad the one at Koega fell flat. These smelters are parasites.
Oink??!
The two smelters alone consume 5.68% of Eskom's basic power generation capacity and from all indications received power at less than Eskom's cost price.
Hillside, the larger of the two, consumes 1 200MW, which makes it alone the third-largest single electricity consumer in the country after Cape Town and Durban. These two cities consume 1 300MW each.
The country would therefore no longer have an electricity crisis if power was not supplied to these two smelters.
