Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivatives | DerivativesAs of September 30, 2020, we had an open position of 124,378 tonnes related to LME forward financial sales contracts to fix the forward LME aluminum price. These contracts are expected to settle monthly through December 2024. We also had an open position of 126,000 tonnes related to Midwest Premium ("MWP") forward financial sales contracts to fix the forward MWP price. These contracts are expected to settle through December 2021. We have also entered into LME and MWP financial contracts with various counterparties to offset fixed price sales arrangements with certain of our customers (“fixed for floating swaps”) to remain exposed to the LME and MWP aluminum prices. As of September 30, 2020, we had an open position related to such arrangements of 13,144 tonnes that will settle at various dates through October 2021. We have entered into financial contracts to fix the forward price for power related to the expected production of Line 4 at Hawesville for the period of January 2020 through December 2020 ("Hawesville L4 power price swaps"). As of September 30, 2020, we had an open position of 198,810 MWh. The Hawesville L4 power price swaps are expected to settle monthly through December 2020. We have entered into financial contracts to hedge a portion of Grundartangi's exposure to the Nord Pool power market (“Nord Pool power price swaps”). As of September 30, 2020, we had an open position of 1,373,790 MWh related to the Nord Pool power price swaps. The Nord Pool power price swaps are expected to settle monthly through December 2021. Because the Nord Pool power price swaps are settled in Euros, we have entered into financial contracts to hedge the risk of fluctuations associated with the Euro ("FX swaps"). As of September 30, 2020, we had an open position related to the FX swaps of €34.6 million that will settle monthly through December 2021.
