About Balcas Energy:

Balcas Energy is part of Balcas, a natural leader in the world of timber.
We opened our first sawmill in 1962 and became one of the largest in the UK and Ireland. Our success came from our knowledge of and respect for timber. In our quest to make the most of every precious tree, Balcas Energy was born.

A co-product of our operations is pure sawdust. In 2004, using natural tree resin as a binder, our engineers pioneered the production of high quality wood pellets.

Originally known as brites, our high grade EN plus pellets have since grown to become 50% of our business. In 2016, Balcas purchased the UK’s largest wood pellet distribution company Forever Fuels and in 2019, with growth in mind, rebranded as Balcas Energy. Balcas Energy is proud to employ some of the most experienced biomass experts in the UK and Ireland and thanks to our advanced Combined Heat and Power plant, both of our production sites are self-sufficient.

Balcas Energy’s Invergordon and Enniskillen sites have production capacities of 120,000 tonnes and 60,000 tonnes of wood pellets respectively. Our operations are so efficient that we put surplus electricity back into the grid throughout the year.

Balcas employs over 380 people and an additional 300 are engaged in forest harvesting and haulage on our behalf.

This would have been a 5 star review if FF had not changed the delivery day. However the delivery itself went well and was within the time-slot indicated by the company. I would use this company again.

Received text 1 day prior to delivery as confirmation. Delivery came on correct day and stated time of delivery. Driver polite and helpful. All went efficiently. One can say everything went very well. Just trying to understand why blown pellet's have gone up 32% in price in the last 18 months.

Although first delivery got cancelled at short notice. The driver who delivered was excellent. It’s a tricky site but he pre-read my detailed instructions, called evening before and morning of delivery.

Our first delivery of wood pellets today to commission our new wood pellet boiler, and the driver was very helpful and patient with various teething issues. Now we just have to see if it works!

The delivery from date of order was helpful and speedy. Your driver put the customer first and made sure that on leaving the site it was left clean and tidy. However, the lack of coordination between our request for cleaning and the delivery gives us uncertainty about the future efficiency as this energy technology which is new too us.

I wish I could tell you how happy I feel about Forever Fuel but other than for your very courteous driver - I can’t. Your prices have increased beyond any reasonable explanation. Furthermore there is no longer a pellet shortage and summer months being quieter prices should reflect. Instead I feel I am being screwed. Not a very nice feeling.

The driver took care to blow the pellets slowly so we had a better result and less dust.

The delivery arrived on schedule; the operative was very knowledgeable, competent & friendly, but the best thing for me is the fact that there has been so much less dust compared to my previous supplier Even if they might be slightly more expensive, I would definitely recommend Forever Fuels to anyone with a pellet boiler.
