One of the largest sawmills in Australia will turn wood waste into enough electricity to run the plant and export to the grid in a possible return to a situation that ended last century. OneFortyOne is spending about $30 million on a new boiler and steam turbine at the Jubilee Sawmill in Mount Gambier as part of a $90 million site upgrade. The company says the renewable biomass power generation project will generate 43,800 megawatt hours of electricity per year when work is complete in 2026 — enough to run the plant and either sell the remainder to the power network or use it to charge future electric machinery. “The turbine will generate enough electricity to power the entire Jubilee site from renewable wood fibre,” chief executive Wendy Norris said. “That helps us to achieve over 70 per cent of our 2030 emissions reduction target…”
