Who it serves
The group’s aluminium production and energy buyers under supply arrangements.
How the business works
Power plants convert an energy source into electricity. Depending on each asset’s framework, remuneration may reflect delivered energy, available capacity and contract terms.
What drives this activity
Natural resource availability, actual generation, maintenance and supply contracts.
The business in practice
Selected products, companies and assets from corporate publications.
- Energy integrated with industry
Aluar’s energy mix combines Futaleufú, thermal generation in Puerto Madryn and its wind farm. Power supports electrolysis; solar and storage projects are presented separately from existing installations.

Its place in Aluar
Aluar connects primary aluminium production with fabricated products and power generation. Electricity is a major input in electrolysis, so energy integration helps explain the group’s industrial structure.
Economics of the whole company
Business economics · explained by La Plata
Customers, operations & revenue
Aluar receives alumina and anode materials, uses electrolysis to produce liquid aluminium and casts industrial formats. Rolling and extrusion add processing for specific applications. Customers buy metal with defined dimensions and properties; energy assets are linked to an electricity-intensive production process.
What shapes business performance
Aluminium prices, product premiums and alumina and energy costs affect margins. Production continuity matters because not all costs decline with output. Tonnes sold, fabricated-product mix, inventories and cash needed for maintenance and investment should be considered separately.
