The Bogoslovo Aluminum Smelter or BAZ, part of United Company RUSAL Plc, will reduce output of aluminum product by 62,600 tonnes or 61% to 40,000 tonnes in 2013. The company will also use its own money to launch at BAZ capacity for the production of up to 35,000 tonnes of aluminum rod per year. Output of aluminum product at Rusal's Ural Aluminum Plant (UAZ) in 2013 will be lowered to 52,000 tonnes from the 71,300 tonnes turned out in 2012.

The plant's move to exclusively products with high added value is planned for 2015. The company intends to reduce aluminum production at its plants by 300,000 tonnes, or by 7%, to 3.9 million tonnes as prices slide. The reduction of Rusal aluminum output does not take into account production at the Boguchany plant.

Boguchany plant can turn out around 15,000 tonnes of commercial product before the end of 2013.
