    I must admit I had a good laugh at the Triple C Research Report when I read that GMC has reasonable power costs compared with Australia.

    "- Start-up power supply available and economical - Power costs are reasonable compared to Australia but power is a major cost"

    Are these Triple C analysts idiots??

    The fact is Indonesian electricity/ power is almost as expensive as Australia, if the price of power for the GMC project is costing US$0.11c/KWh  as quoted in the Triple C Research Report then is right up there close to Australian prices.

    "The price of the new two-year contract from Origin Energy has surged from $55.30 per megawatt-hour to $109.70 .
    "We have yet to see an invoice, they will be coming in the next few months, but I'm bracing myself for a huge increase," said Mr Lee. Prices offered by rival suppliers ranged up to $129.96/MWh.'

    So we have a price of Aussie power going from $55.30/MWh ( US$0.044c/KWh) toAUD$109.70/MWh ( US$0.09c/KWh  up to AUD$129.96/MWh (US$0.10c/KWh).

    I know that QLD electricity has gone ballistic, as I've shut down my manufacturing business some time ago, and decided it was time to retire.
    "prices in Queensland averaging $239.60/MWh "

    Well, I guess we can say that Gulf Manganese power prices will be cheaper than QLD.
    AUD$239.60 MWh = US$0.19c/KWh
    No manufacturing business will survive in QLD, just like GMC won't survive and thrive with US$0.11c power prices in Indonesia.
    Power prices will make OR break ferro alloy producers, you only need to  look at problems in South Africa.
