Aluminium smelters in Germany are actually getting a big subsidy. They're varying their electricity usage based upon the output of Germany's solar/wind farms and getting paid a hefty sum to do so (possibly too much). This is having a negative impact on other smelters across the world. Effectively they're doing the same job we were always told batteries would do.
