Tomago Aluminium: A Strategic Asset

Tomago Aluminium is more than just a smelter, it's a strategic asset and a secret player holding the key to 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, the heart of the Hunter region and a key Australian energy hub, Tomago Aluminium operates continuously, using approximately 12 per cent of NSW's electricity.

This massive, predictable demand acts as a buffer for grid fluctuations, as coal-fired generation retires, and renewables ramp up.

Australia's energy transition is accelerating, and nowhere is this more evident than in our own backyard.

Author's summary: Tomago Aluminium is a key player in Australia's energy transition.
