The Bulk Ferroalloys Power Tariffs examines power rates in the production of silicon, chromium and manganese ferroalloys.  The study covers electricity supply arrangements to plants in all significant ferroalloy-producing countries around the world.

The Bulk Ferroalloys Power Tariffs will allow you to gain a unique perspective on the key developments in the power market that are affecting ferroalloy producers worldwide.  The study covers:

• Analysis of electricity market developments in key countries and regions of the world
• Review of power supply arrangements at individual ferroalloy plants
• Estimates of electricity rates for individual plants
• Estimates of average power costs by product, country and company
• Impact of exchange rate fluctuations
• Power prices offered for new projects

Comprehensive research
Electric power represents the largest cost component in the manufacture of silicon based ferroalloys and is a major element in chromium and manganese ferroalloy production costs.  Thus, the price of electricity is a critical determinant of the cost competitiveness of ferroalloy plants around the world.  The study analyses power supply arrangements to ferroalloy plants worldwide.  It also assesses major developments in electricity markets around the world.

As a result of widespread power industry deregulation, and the expiration of old cost-based contracts, electricity prices to ferroalloy producers are increasingly determined by market forces.  Rising fuel costs and the need for new investment in generation and transmission are putting upward pressure on electricity rates in a number of locations.
