The news came after Century’s President and CEO Jesse Gary said, “I want to thank our entire Jamalco team who rose to the occasion following Hurricane Beryl and successfully completed these repairs safely and with a disciplined focus on execution.”
Century’s Jamalco alumina refinery was back to full operation within less than two weeks after recovering from the impact of Hurricane Beryl, which took place on July 3, bringing intense winds and heavy rains.
In Iceland, Century Aluminum will need to reduce production at Grundartangi’s smelter by approximately 2,500 tonnes in the third quarter of 2024 as local geothermal energy companies have issued partial power curtailment orders across the industrial customers.
Century Aluminum is an integrated producer of bauxite, alumina, and primary aluminium products. It is the largest primary aluminium producer in the United States, having production facilities in Iceland, Jamaica, and the Netherlands as well.
