Rio Tinto asegura las operaciones de la fundición de Bell Bay hasta finales de 2031
Rio Tinto anunció el 1 de octubre que había alcanzado acuerdos con el Gobierno de Tasmania, el Gobierno de la Mancomunidad de Australia e Hydro Tasmania para extender el suministro eléctrico a la fundición de aluminio de Bell Bay hasta finales de 2031. Los dos gobiernos también aportarán un paquete de apoyo combinado de 200 millones de dólares australianos a lo largo de cinco años, contribuyendo 100 millones cada uno. No se divulgaron los términos comerciales del acuerdo energético. Bell Bay produce alrededor de 190.000 toneladas de aluminio primario al año, mientras que su contrato eléctrico vigente debía expirar a finales de 2026. El acuerdo elimina la incertidumbre operativa inmediata de la fundición. Bell Bay es la tercera gran fundición de aluminio australiana en recibir apoyo respaldado por el Gobierno en 2026, tras Boyne y Tomago, lo que pone de relieve la presión continua de los elevados costes eléctricos y la competencia internacional.
