San Ciprian smelter nears full capacity amid power uncertainty

Recently, the investors informed that Alcoa’s San Ciprián smelter has ramped up to 90 per cent of its capacity. The smelter, located in Spain, by mid-year, especially after experiencing some earlier cutbacks, is expecting to reach its full capacity.

Back in 2021, the smelter's production was reduced due to rising power costs and a nationwide power outage in Spain last April, which further complicated operations at the nearby smelter and refinery as well. Before this reduction, the facility boasted a production capacity of 228 thousand tonnes per year.
