Century Aluminum Company CENX and Emirates Global Aluminium (“EGA”) have announced a joint development agreement to construct a primary aluminum production facility in Inola, OK. This will be the first new primary aluminum plant to be built in the United States since 1980.
It is set to be the largest ever primary aluminum production plant in the United States. The plant is expected to produce 750,000 tons of aluminum per year, which will more than double the current U.S. production capacity.
The project will generate approximately 4,000 construction jobs during the construction phase and 1,000 permanent direct jobs once operational. The construction is targeted to begin by the end of 2026, with production expected to start by the end of the decade.
Something else positive about Trump's tariffs.
The timeline gives me pause. If the dems return to pawer, get rid of the tariff and make the venture unaffordable.
Big job boost for the area too as it's known more for Hay than anything else.
