Energy Reduction Technology for Aluminum Electrolysis: Choice of the Cell
For the first measure, the current efficiency (CE) would be decreased because the anode-cathode-distance is reduced. For the second measure, if the cell voltage is reduced much more, the CE also can be lost. The best choice to decrease energy consumption is that the CE should be maintained when the cell voltage is reduced.

Cell voltage in aluminum electrolysis: A practical approach
During aluminum electrolysis there must be an optimum cell voltage for a given cell design at constant amperage. This optimum-voltage target depends on the goal, which may change with economic conditions.
