In May 2004, Alcoa signed a memorandum of understanding with the government of Trinidad and Tobago to participate in the development of the country's aluminium industry.
After discussion with the government of Trinidad and Tobago in January 2007, Alcoa continues to believe that Trinidad represents a sound longer-term opportunity for the establishment of a world-class aluminium manufacturing facility and has committed to continuing to work with the government toward the eventual realisation of this shared objective.
In light of the government's decision to discontinue plans for the industrial development of the Cap-de-Ville site, Alcoa's site-specific work in Trinidad has been discontinued and will recommence once an agreed-upon site has been identified, and developed, by the government. Given this, it is expected that it will be a number of years before we could expect to see an aluminium smelter in operation in Trinidad.
It is expected that upon completion, the smelter and associated facilities would permanently employ approximately 750 to 800 people directly and indirectly through associated jobs in the region. The approximately two-year construction phase would create an estimated 1,500 to 2,500 jobs.
This website is part of our commitment to keep the people of Trinidad and Tobago informed about the project. We welcome feedback and suggestions for improvement.
