Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivatives DerivativesAs of December 31, 2022, we had an open position of 111,741 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 had no open MWP forward financial sales contracts as of December 31, 2022. We have also entered into 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 December 31, 2022, we had 946 tonnes related to fixed for floating swaps that will settle monthly through September 2023.
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”). The Nord Pool power price swaps are expected to settle monthly through December 2023. The Nord Pool power price swaps are settled in Euros, therefore we have entered into financial contracts to hedge the risk of fluctuations associated with the Euro ("FX swaps"). As of December 31, 2022, we had an open position related to the FX swaps of €32.7 million that will settle monthly through December 2023.
During the third quarter of 2022, we entered certain floating Nord Pool financial contracts to unwind a portion of our fixed contract position as a result of the recent power agreement amendment, making us predominantly hedged against Nord Pool power price fluctuations during 2023. The pricing relationship between the fixed and floating contracts created a realized gain of $16.0 million, which we recognized for the year ended December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, we had an open net position of 989,880 MWh related to the Nord Pool power price swaps.
We have entered into financial contracts to fix a portion of our exposure to the Indiana Hub power market at our Kentucky plants ("Indiana Hub power price swaps"). As of December 31, 2022, we had an open position of 175,200 MWh. The Indiana Hub power price swaps are expected to settle monthly through December 2023.
We have entered into forward contracts to hedge the risk of fluctuations associated with the Icelandic Krona (ISK) and Euro for contracts related to the construction of the Grundartangi casthouse denominated in these currencies ("casthouse currency hedges"). As of December 31, 2022, we had an open position related to the ISK casthouse swaps of 5.5 billion ISK that will settle monthly through July 2023. As of December 31, 2022, we had an open position related to the Euro casthouse swaps of €8.9 million that will settle monthly through February 2024.
Our agreements with derivative counterparties contain certain provisions requiring collateral to be posted in the event the market value of our position exceeds the margin threshold limit of our master agreement with the counterparty. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had recorded restricted cash of $0.0 million and $8.6 million, respectively, as collateral related to open derivative contracts under the master arrangements with our counterparties.
