Algoma Resumes Electric Arc Furnace Production After Unplanned Power Outage
The company is using interim arrangements with the Independent Electricity System Operator while it seeks to repair or replace the unavailable turbine.
- On August 29, 2026, Algoma Steel Group Inc. resumed electric arc furnace production following interim operating arrangements with the Independent Electricity System Operator , though the Lake Superior Power turbine remains unavailable.
- Algoma halted EAF operations last month after one turbine unit at the LSP facility detected an abnormal condition and was automatically taken offline, triggering the need for interim production measures.
- The Company is pursuing multiple alternatives to restore full generating capacity, including repairing the affected turbine or securing a replacement while working with GE to determine the most effective path.
- Coordinating with the IESO, Algoma is maintaining sustained steel production under interim arrangements while the operator reviews upcoming power system outages to minimize interruptions to steelmaking operations.
- This EAF transition represents one of North America's largest industrial decarbonization initiatives, expected to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 70% once fully operational, supporting Canada's sustainable steelmaking goals.
