== History == ABB Group was awarded with a $140 million contract by Qatalum in 2007 to construct the electrical parts of the plant. Inaugurated in April 2010, it was the largest aluminium plant ever launched in one step, costing about $5.7 billion to build. In 2012, ABB was contracted to upgrade the plants power network for $16 million. Its annual capacity in September 2011 was 585,000 metric tons of primary aluminium, all to be shipped as value added aluminium casthouse products. A 1350 MW natural gas power plant has also been built to ensure a stable supply of electricity. In 2013, Qatalum and Hydro Aluminium opened a new zero energy and emissions building lab at the Mesaieed Industrial City site, for the development of aluminium cladding for carbon neutral buildings.
