Mozambique's government is actively working to keep South32's Mozal aluminium smelter operational. Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy, Estevao Pale, emphasized the government's commitment. In December, South32 announced plans to place the smelter under care and maintenance by March, incurring a $60 million one-off cost, following unsuccessful negotiations for a power supply agreement necessary for the smelter's energy-intensive operations.
