With the market recovery, Hydro planned to restart the production line B at its Husnes primary plant in Norway by the end of November. The decision was previously postponed due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic.
The plant has spent NOK 1.5 billion on the project, and the upgrade work has been nearly completed.
The restart of the production line will help to double Husnes plant’s primary aluminum output from the current annual output of 100,000 tons.
