Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The aluminium smelter Mozal, on the outskirts of Maputo, intends to increase aluminium production by 40,000 tonnes in the current economic year, which started in June.<\/p>\n

The production, according to Mozal general-director Gil Cumaio, cited in Tuesday\u2019s issue of the Maputo daily \u201cNoti\u0301cias\u201d, will grow to 578,000 tonnes of aluminium against the previous 538,000 tonnes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe expected growth is the result of the improvement of operations within the company. This forecast may also influence the level of aluminium export as a result of the investments made by the company recently\u201d, Cumaio said.<\/p>\n

The aluminium produced last year, he explained, was exported to various markets, especially to Europe, taking into account that Holland stands out as the main buyer of aluminium ingots.<\/p>\n

Last January, the company announced plans to start using power produced by Mozambique\u2019s publicly owned electricity company, EDM, replacing power from the South African state company Eskom.<\/p>\n

For its operation, Mozal needs 950 Megawatts (MW) to produce over 560,000 tonnes of aluminium per year.<\/p>\n
