Tomago Aluminium: A Strategic Asset
Tomago Aluminium is more than just a smelter, it's a strategic asset and a key player in Australia's energy transition.
As a cornerstone of grid stability, Tomago Aluminium is a strategic anchor for NSW's ambitious energy transition and a critical enabler of Australia's industrial sovereignty under the Future Made in Australia initiative.
Located near Newcastle, in the heart of the Hunter region, Tomago Aluminium operates continuously, using approximately 12 per cent of NSW's electricity, making it one of the country's largest electricity consumers.
This massive, predictable demand acts as a buffer for grid fluctuations, as coal-fired generation retires, and renewables ramp up.
Tomago Aluminium is a linchpin in the stability of the power grid.
