Building of Taishet aluminum plant will be resumed in June

In 2006, Rusal began early work to construct a 750,000 tpy greenfield aluminium smelter in Taishet, a small town near Irkutsk. The construction is expected to be completed in 2012.

The smelter will include a cast house, an anode plant, a power house, gas scrubbers, together with a full range of infrastructure facilities.

The construction site for this project is located in the western part of the Irkutsk Region between Taishet and Talaya (small provincial towns) and is distant from any residential area. It is now envisaged that the United Company will build a railway to connect the smelter and Taishet.
