Nyrstar to place French operations on care and maintenance
Belgium-based global metals firm Nyrstar plans to place its operations in Auby, France, on care and maintenance from the first week of January 2022, due to increasing power prices.
The decision comes in response to significantly increased current and anticipated future prices of electricity in the country.

In a press statement, Nyrstar said: “Power prices, already at historically high levels across Europe, have continued to rise in recent weeks in France, in excess of neighbouring European countries.
