Alcoa Corporation, together with its subsidiaries, produces and sells bauxite, alumina and aluminum products in the United States, Spain, Australia, Iceland, Norway, Brazil, Canada and around the world.

In addition, the company owns hydroelectric plants and produces electricity in the wholesale market for sale to traders, large industrial consumers, power distribution companies, and other power generation companies. The company was formerly known as Alcoa Upstream Corporation and changed its name to Alcoa Corporation in October 2016.
