The Khakas smelter was commissioned in 2006 and only took two years to build, which is a record-breaking time in the aluminium industry. The smelter is one of the most technologically advanced in the world.
- Launched in 2006 and reached full capacity in 2007
- The use of RUSAL’s proprietary smelting technology RA-300 helped to cut the capital costs to USD 2500 for the tonne of capacity, which is two times lower than the average greenfield costs in the West
- The most up-to-date and technologically advanced smelter in Russia
