Milling operations typically occur over the period June to November each year. During that time 99% of the energy used is “green” renewable energy sourced by firing 3 steam boilers with the biomass (bagasse) produced after extracting the juice from the sugar cane.
Since 1998, in addition to meeting our own energy requirements, we have been exporting 10 Megawatts of excess renewable energy into the Queensland electricity grid when our plant is operational.
This is one of the very few sugar mills that continues to allow tourists to inspect a working mill as part of guided tours organised through the Tully Visitor Information Centre.Tully North Queensland
