Aluminium supply chain secured: $200M lifeline saves 550 jobs
For supply chain and logistics professionals, the $200 million state-federal lifeline and five-year power deal remove near-term closure risk at one of Australia's largest aluminium smelters. The agreement bridges a $60 million annual power cost gap, securing 550 direct jobs and 1,000 indirect roles across the Tasmanian supply chain. It provides five years of demand certainty for alumina, freight, port and downstream manufacturing partners.
