Clean, sustainable energy
- We have been using using bagasse to power our sugar mills and communities for years
- Our eight mills have a total generation capacity of 202 megawatts, producing about 559,000 megawatt hours a year
- Two of the five largest biomass generators in Australia are Wilmar mills
Nature's battery
- Bagasse is nature’s battery for stored energy
- Each year we convert the energy in over 5 million tonnes of bagasse into renewable energy
- The stored energy in bagasse means we can generate and dispatch electricity 24/7 throughout the year
Australia's largest biomass-only generator
- Our Pioneer Mill near Ayr is Australia’s largest generator running only on biomass
- Pioneer’s generation capacity is 68 megawatts
- It can operate year-round, day and night
