(Reuters) – Arconic said on Friday it would split into two companies and slashed its quarterly dividend by two-thirds, just weeks after the U.S. aluminum products maker spurned a buyout offer from Apollo Global Management.

The company, formed following a split of Aloca Corp in 2016, plans to spin off one of its core divisions later.

The unit had supplied the Reynobond PE panels used in the cladding of the Grenfell Tower apar…

Compared to the latest wind selling price (69c), we must eliminate 36c of cost from the capital recovery to make Medupi competitive with wind. This requires a 68% write-off of the asset value making a R131bn deficit in the Eskom balance sheet.

As Jabu Mabuza said: Someone must pay.

5. The one basic truth

There is one basic truth: business is risky. And Eskom is a business. In business, risks are borne by shareholders. For Eskom that means us.

Eskom took on substantial risk when it approved construction of the two coal-fired power stations Medupi and Kusile. Other capital projects around the world have exceeded their budgeted costs. For example, the International Space Station, various infrastructu…
