The plants, at Condong and Broadwater sugar mills, are fuelled primarily by sugar cane material and operate as power stations within the mills, which are owned by NSW Sugar.
Commercial operation of the plants began in November 2008. Each mill has been upgraded as part of the cogeneration project. All electricity generated is sold to Delta Electricity.
The project involves two 30MW base load renewable energy co-generation plants fuelled by sugar cane materials - bagasse (remnant fibre after the cane is crushed to produce sugar and cane leaf.)
