Title: Aluminium projects boost New South Wales power plans

Journal Article · · Energy Int.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6713322

New South Wales is expanding its power-generating capacity to power new aluminum smelters and extensions to existing smelting facilities planned for the 1980s. Cheap coal-based electricity is vital to the program's success. Officials deny reports that other consumers will suffer power shortages during the development stages and are confident the State's energy policies to provide 7400 MW of new capacity and introduce 500-kV transmission will also supply new industry and community power needs. Only France has a comparable power expansion program. (DCK)
