SAULT STE. MARIE — Algoma Steel Group Inc. says it has resumed electric arc furnace production after an unplanned outage at its Lake Superior Power generating facility. The company says the LSP turbine remains unavailable, but it has worked with the Independent Electricity System Operator to implement interim operating arrangements. Algoma halted electric arc furnace production last month after one of the turbine units at the power station detected an abnormal condition and was automatically taken offline. It says it’s pursuing multiple alternatives to restore full LSP generating capacity as quickly as possible including the repair of the affected turbine and securing a replacement turbine. Algoma says it’s working with GE on both alternatives and will determine the most effective and timely path to restore full generating capacity. Algoma is a producer of plate and sheet steel products. --- This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 2, 2026.
