STH AFRICAN ALUMINIUM SMELTERS MINIMAL DISRUPTION
Date 17 September 2001
Number 14/01
BHP BILLITON ADVISES MINIMAL IMPACT FROM POWER DISRUPTION
AT SOUTH AFRICAN ALUMINIUM SMELTERS
BHP Billiton advises that power was disrupted for a short period to its
Bayside and Hillside aluminium smelters owing to unprecedented snowfalls
in the northern KwaZulu Natal region in South Africa on Friday 14 September
2001.
Bayside operations returned to normal soon after the interruption. However
the process of restoring production at Hillside led to the closure of some
pots and about 20,000 tonnes of production may be lost as a result.
Hillside's annual production capacity is 500,000 tonnes.
