Alcoa is not a government department or agency. The Member may wish to contact Alcoa directly and request this information. It should be noted that any entity consuming more than 50MWh of electricity per annum can negotiate an electricity supply contract with any electricity retailer and such contract information is likely to be deemed confidential.
