Upcoming dividend, page-7

one way to solve the negative gas supply going forward - Alcoa to close one of its smelters- close down industry . Massive costs in losing down that refinery and remediating the land IMO and it will take many years .

Alcoa accounts for about 25 per cent of gas demand in WA that is facing a shortfall in supply of about 8 per cent of demand over the next three years, according to the Australian Energy Market Operator.

A complete closure of Kwinana, Alcoa’s smallest refinery in WA, would free up gas equivalent to about five per cent of the market and be a welcome relief to other users.
