“We are deeply saddened and are assessing the damage to our facilities.”
EGA’s Al Taweelah smelter produced 1.6 million tonnes of cast metal in 2025. EGA had substantial metal stock on the water when the conflict began, and stock on the ground in some overseas locations. The Al Taweelah site is located approximately halfway between the cities of Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
According to EGA’s website, it has a nameplate capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per year and has 1266 reduction cells. The whole site is five times larger bigger than Abu Dhabi’s Al Maryah Island at 6km2.
