JOHANNESBURG, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Glencore said on Monday that a retrenchment process has been initiated at its joint-venture Rustenburg ferrochrome smelter and vanadium operations in South Africa as significant economic pressures continue to impact the businesses.

South Africa holds approximately 80% of the world's known chrome ore reserves, according to Glencore, positioning the country as a key player in global ferrochrome production.

However, problems with power cuts, rising electricity prices and economic pressures forced the miners to suspend production at the venture's ferrochrome Boshoek, Wonderkop and Lion smelters in May.

The smelters are operated by the Glencore and Merafe Resources joint-venture.

"The (retrenchment) consultation process is as a result of the continuing economic pressures facing the South African ferrochrome industry and the lack of sustainable industry solutions that could alleviate the pressures in the near to medium term," Merafe said in a separate statement.

The process will affect the Boshoek and Wonderkop smelters in Rustenburg. In addition, the Lion smelter is currently being evaluated and may potentially see a reduction to half of its operating capacity, Glencore said in a statement.

Stop someone on the street in London and ask them about interconnectors and chances are they will look at you blankly. But in Oslo, energy trading through these massive undersea cables has become a major issue. And one with huge implications for Britain.

There is a real chance that Norway will run out of water this winter, meaning it will not be able to maintain electricity supplies to Great Britain. Norway could be forced to restrict exports under new powers which allow them to be restricted if there is a prospect of hydrological shortages. And not just once the shortages manifest

Thats not what i think at all.

Do it like norway and do both.

Labour’s “cult of carbon” has forced one of Britain’s oldest oil companies to shed dozens of staff and shut down 80pc of its UK operations, according to its chief executive.

Jim Johnson, the chief executive of 150-year-old oil and gas group Hunting, said he was being forced to close four of the company’s five UK centres including its main Scottish site because the Government had destroyed the North Sea offshore oil industry.

He said the closures were directly linked to government windfall taxes and over-zealous regulations imposed on the industry to reach net zero.

Kemi Badenoch will this week unveil a pledge to extract as much oil and gas from the North Sea as possible.

In a speech that will draw comparison to Donald Trump’s “drill, baby, drill” moment, the Tory leader will vow to abolish swathes of environmental restrictions on fossil fuel extraction. It will be her greatest departure from net zero to date and emulate the wealth-creating approach taken by Norway.

Guess the Russian people will one day say enough is enough..
