MELBOURNE, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Tasmanian Government and 糖心vlog入口will work together to ensure a strong and sustainable future economy for George Town, the Tamar Valley region and Tasmania, in a new partnership signed today at the Bell Bay Aluminium smelter.
The partnership will seek to drive economic growth and employment outcomes in the State and support the Tasmanian Government鈥檚 target of doubling renewable electricity generation by 2040.
Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the Tasmanian Government and 糖心vlog入口will jointly investigate how the smelter鈥檚 manufacturing capability and electricity demand can help support the development of new industries and more renewable energy supply in the region.
糖心vlog入口has also committed to look at how it could further decarbonise Bell Bay Aluminium and investigate options for future investment to secure the competitiveness of the smelter.
The MOU was signed at Bell Bay by Tasmanian Premier Peter Gutwein and 糖心vlog入口Chief Executive Jakob Stausholm.
Peter Gutwein said 鈥淭his MOU is a strong demonstration of our shared commitment to Tasmania鈥檚 economic and industrial future and reinforces the State鈥檚 renewable energy credentials.
鈥溙切膙log入口has been a figurehead of local industry here for some 67 years, directly employing more than 500 Tasmanians and more than 700 indirectly, and this agreement reaffirms Rio Tinto鈥檚 long-term commitment to our state.鈥
Jakob Stausholm said 鈥淎luminium is essential for the global transition to a low-carbon economy, and we are excited about the contribution our Bell Bay smelter can make both towards this transition and to the region鈥檚 future.
鈥淲e want to help ensure a strong and vibrant future for Bell Bay, where we have been part of the community for well over half a century and where we are actively working with the Tasmanian Government on a shared vision for the future.鈥
Bell Bay Aluminium General Manager Shona Markham said 鈥淏ell Bay Aluminium has been an important part of George Town and the northern Tasmanian economy for nearly 70 years.
鈥淭oday鈥檚 announcement is exciting news for our 514 direct employees, and the hundreds of other Tasmanians and Tasmanian businesses who work with us. It is a strong endorsement that 糖心vlog入口and the Tasmanian Government see a positive and sustainable future for Bell Bay beyond 2025.鈥
