Recent assignment – Alcoa Lista
News feature from Alcoas aluminum plant at Lista. The plant is actively trying to cut electricity consumption, and their goal is to cut the consumption by 5 percent, which amounts to 71 GWh.
This is about the same as the average electricity used by around 6000 Norwegians. Aluminum plants are responsible for 15-20% of Norways energy consumption.
A report has stated that the Norwegian heavy industry can save up to 12 TWh a year just by investing in new technology. Alcoa Lista is a modest start, but a start nontheless.
