KIEV, Aug. 25 - Zaporizhia ferroalloy plant has started dismissing workers following a cut in ferroalloy output due to higher production expenses on electricity consumed by the company since it was designated a second-class consumer.

According to the Association of Ukrainian Ferroalloy Producers (UkrFA), currently Zaporizhia ferroalloy plant, as in the previous months of 2011, continues working but not at full capacity, and since January 2011 workshop four has been idle.
