Supporting one of Australia’s leading bioenergy producers from the ground up – delivering all electrical works since inception for a world-class wood pellet manufacturing facility dedicated to renewable energy export.

Tuan Biomass (formerly Altus Renewables) operates Australia’s largest biomass pellet facility, located near Toolara in Queensland. The site processes sustainably sourced plantation pine residue into high-density wood pellets, exported to global markets as a low-carbon alternative to coal. Its operations contribute to international net-zero efforts by providing biomass fuel that is both renewable and emissions-reducing.

PHE Group has supported the plant since its inception in 2012, delivering end-to-end electrical services to power production, support energy efficiency, and future-proof site growth. From initial reticulation to conveyor upgrades and power factor correction, PHE continues to work closely with Tuan Biomass to maintain a safe, high-performance manufacturing environment.
