Operational Update
IFL is pleased to announce the successful switching in of the two furnaces on 1 June, following the end of the electricity buyback agreement with Eskom.
Under the electricity buyback agreement as previously announced, the Company switched out one furnace on 1 March 2012 and the second furnace on 1 April 2012. Eskom bought back the electricity which would have been consumed by the furnaces, at a rate that resulted in a net financial benefit to the Company. The shutdown of the furnaces did not adversely affect customers.
