Hydro announced that the company’s part-owned primary aluminium plant Albras has resumed production line in Brazil after a power outage earlier this year. The facility was operating a 25% reduced capacity after a fire in an electrical transformer in March.
“The plant’s three other lines were unaffected and there were no injuries. The production line is expected to be operating at normal capacity during 2020,”Hydro said.
