After the power outage, Hydro temporarily cut the production capacity of Alunorte alumina refinery by around 50-70% to prolong the lifetime of the bauxite inventories.

“On December 18, a transmission tower overturned, ceasing power supply to Hydro’s Paragominas bauxite mine in Brazil, temporarily halting the production at the mine. Regular power supply to Paragominas is expected to resume within 5-10 days,” according to Hydro press release.

“The 244 km bauxite pipeline going from Paragominas to Alunorte has been emptied using back-up power. There were no personnel injuries or damages to other production assets related to the power outage.”  

The company is taking the necessary measures to resolve the situation. The financial impact is estimated to be limited, Hydro said.
