Alcoa to shut Italy aluminium plants by Feb 6.

LONDON, Jan 28 (Reuters) - U.S. aluminium producer Alcoa Inc said it plans an orderly shutdown of its two Italian smelters by February 6, despite government efforts to find energy at a competitive price.

But the company committed earlier this week to restarting one of the plants if it can secure cheap power and conditions are conducive.
