A 12-month power deal saves Tasmania’s Bell Bay Aluminium smelter from closure, protecting 500 jobs.
A 12-month power agreement has secured the short-term future of Bell Bay Aluminium in Tasmania, preventing immediate closure and protecting over 500 jobs.
The smelter, owned by Rio Tinto and operational since 1955, relies on hydroelectricity and exports more than 90% of its output to Asia.
The interim deal with state-owned Hydro Tasmania allows time for ongoing negotiations on a long-term energy solution.
Tasmanian leaders, including Premier Jeremy Rockliff and Energy Minister Nick Duigan, are urging federal support, citing recent funding for other industrial projects and emphasizing the smelter’s role as a key green producer and economic contributor.
