OneFortyOne announces renewable power investmentFriday 11 Oct 2024
The Jubilee Sawmill first started producing electricity in 1956, producing energy for Mount Gambier until the 1970s. The new turbine will generate more than enough electricity to power the entire Jubilee Sawmill site. The excess renewable electricity can be returned to the grid or used to enable future electrification of forklifts, trucks and other machinery. It is expected to be completed by 2026 and will provide the following benefits:
This investment not only supports our decarbonisation goals but also positions us for future opportunities in renewable energy. By installing a steam turbine power generation system, we will be able to produce electricity from biomass, significantly repurposing wood fibre, preparing for our future energy needs.” Peter Malinauskas MP, Premier of South Australia, commented: “This investment into one of South Australia’s most significant industries is exciting for our State. This is a welcome announcement, which means longevity of technology, reduced carbon emissions and renewable energy going back into the grid.” OneFortyOne’s investment in renewable power generation at Jubilee Sawmill is a significant step towards reducing our carbon footprint and enhancing our energy efficiency. We are excited about the future possibilities this project will bring and remain committed to investing in our business, valuing our fibre and emissions reduction.
