Slatina, 17 July 2012 – Alro SA (BSE: ALR, “Alro”, “the Company”), the largest aluminium producer in Central and Eastern Europe, didn’t take any decision, at this point, regarding the cut down in production and is continuing the negotiations with Hidroelectrica regarding the electricity supply.
“We don’t have a decision yet on idling part of the production capacity ”, said Gheorghe Dobra, CEO of Alro. “At this point, we are analysing the current situation, in relation with the electricity supply”.
Moreover, taking into account the recent statements regarding the instauration of force majeure at Hidroelectrica, Alro is analysing multiple solutions in order to be prepared if such a measure is implemented.
The Company is considering the last period when Hidroelectrica declared Force Majeure, and has to make sure it takes all necessary measures to ensure the safest operation of the technological flow in case the electricity supply suffers major fluctuations.
