Cape Byron Power consists of two 100%-owned 30 MW biomass fired power stations.

Cape Byron Power consists of two 100%-owned 30 MW biomass fired power stations located on the NSW north coast that generate both renewable electricity and steam for local sugar milling operations, while also exporting electricity to the grid and surrounding local areas. Cape Byron Power’s portfolio forms one of the largest base load renewable power generators in Australia and employs more than 50 full-time operational employees. The electricity is predominantly produced from bagasse which is a sugar cane milling waste, along with certain types of wood residues and energy crops, commonly referred to as biomass fuel.
