Kaiser Aluminum Posts Reduced Energy Surcharge for October

Kaiser Aluminum announced that the applicable energy surcharge for October shipments of fabricated products will be: 6xxx alloys: $0.019 per pound

All other alloys: $0.029 per pound

This is a reduction from the September surcharge of $0.040 per pound for 6xxx alloys and $0.056 for all other alloys. The reduction in the surcharge was driven by lower natural gas and diesel prices. The surcharges are based on a calculation tied to indices provided by the U.S. Department of Energy and are updated on a monthly basis. Customers can view the formulas for calculating surcharges on the Kaiser Aluminum Web site at www.kaiseraluminum.com. Up-to-date information on how these surcharges impact specific products are also included on the site.
