Video: Jubilee Sawmill’s co-generation boiler project

11 August 2026

OneFortyOne has released a new video providing an overview of the Jubilee Co-Generation Boiler Project, one of the most significant investments in the future of the Jubilee Sawmill and the company’s sustainability journey.

The video explains how the project will modernise energy generation at the site by converting sawmill residues into renewable energy, reducing emissions and improving operational efficiency.

Once complete, the facility will be capable of producing enough renewable electricity to power the sawmill’s operations, with the potential to export surplus energy to the grid.

OneFortyOne Executive General Manager Australia Cameron MacDonald said the project represents a major step forward for the business and the region.

“The Co-Generation Boiler Project is a cornerstone of our emissions reduction strategy and demonstrates how manufacturing and sustainability can work hand in hand,” Cameron said.

“The new video is a great way for our employees, customers, and community to better understand what we’re building and the long-term benefits it will deliver.”
