The US giant, which made $8 billion in Australia in 2024, is forcing its subcontractors to follow its example and send Australian engineering jobs overseas.
The 200 wind turbines near Marble Bar are essential for the miner to reach its zero emissions goal set by chair Andrew Forrest.
The battle of jobs and Alcoa profits versus the jarrah forest and Perth's water supply will ramp up within weeks when the miner's plans are released.
The blackout is another problem in a clean-up effort of an ex-Woodside vessel that will cost Australia's oil and gas producers well over $1 billion.
