Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Aluminerie Alouette is an aluminum manufacturing company based in Sept- les, Quebec, Canada, on the North Shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. With the successful start-up of a major expansion in 2005, the Alouette Aluminum Smelter, at 550,000 metric tonnes capacity per year, became the largest primary aluminum smelter in the Americas. The construction of an aluminum smelter at Sept- les was made possible with the completion of the Churchill Falls Hydro Electric project in Labrador in 1972. Electrical transmission lines from Churchill Falls, carrying power to the Hydro-Qu bec power grid, pass close to the city of Sept- les, with Hydro-Qu bec's Arnaud substation built on the outskirts of the city. In 1989, attracted by Hydro-Qu bec's low power costs and the seaport facilities at Sept- les, Alouette built a 215,000 tonne per year smelter on Pointe-Noire, Quebec, located on the southern side of Sept- les Bay. The smelter was funded by an international consortium, consisting of Soci t g n rale de financement (SGF), Kobe Aluminum and Marubeni of Japan, Austria Metall AG (AMAG), VAW of Germany, and Koninklijke Hoogovens of the Netherlands.
