Renewable energy from Precious Woods
Next to our MIL Madeiras sawmill, our 9MW MIL Energia Renovável (MER) cogeneration plant produces energy from FSC- and PEFC-certified wood residues. In 2025, MER generated 44 617 GJ. In addition to its 21 176 GJ auto-consumption, 12 893 GJ was delivered to MIL Madeiras and 10 548 GJ to the local grid provider. MER did not operate at full capacity because the grid connection was reestablished only in the second half of 2025. Moreover, due to volatile energy prices, selling biomass offers economic advantages over producing energy. MER does not lie in an area of water stress. During the reporting period, the plant consumed 350 400 m3 of water without any non-compliance or water management risks.
