Alcoa Secures Long-Term Gas Supply Deal for WA Refineries

Alcoa has signed a long-term domestic natural gas supply agreement with Equus Energy for its Pinjarra and Wagerup alumina refineries. The deal will support Alcoa's operations in Western Australia, which currently rely on gas imports from other countries. Under the terms of the agreement, Equus Energy will provide Alcoa with a steady supply of natural gas over the next decade.

The Pinjarra and Wagerup alumina refineries are significant contributors to Western Australia's economy, producing alumina used in the production of aluminum. The refineries' operations require large amounts of energy, making reliable access to natural gas crucial for their continued operation.
