OSLO, Dec 30 (Reuters) – Norsk Hydro’s NHY.OL majority-owned aluminium plant in Slovakia will further curtail its output in response to high electricity costs, the Norwegian company said on Thursday.
The Slovalco plant, 55.3% owned by Hydro, will lower production to approximately 60% of capacity from around 80% currently, the company said.
The latest cut corresponds to an annual reduction of 35,000 tonnes of aluminium.
