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.

I only use Balcas Energy for my wood pellets, the website is really easy to use, the pellets are always of a high quality and come from sustainable sources, delivery is arranged very quickly and the cost is stable and reasonable unlike gas.

Delivery problematic, several burst bags. We asked for early delivery but lorry came just after 2pm.It took us (78&79) years old over two hours to move bags to wood shed and it was dark when we finished, We have had problems with pellets jamming the augur in our Warmflow boiler ( DON'T BUY ) so every bag has to be riddled.

Very happy with ordering, delivery (to NE Scotland) and most of all quality of pellets which come in easy to handle 10kg bags. The pricing is competitive and we will be ordering again. We have 2 pellet boilers for central heating and a pellet range cooker for heating and cooking.

Keep asking that delivery company ring day before to advise of delivery and driver if possible to give us a bit of notice. Today driver was at house before any phone call and no-one was home. Generally works OK but not always

We like the product and the service. We’d love to be able to get our bagged pellets directly from your Invergordon plant as it is only 30 minutes from our home but they only supply loose pellets. Are there any plans to introduce bagged pellets here rather than shipping from Northern Ireland every time? It doesn’t make us feel quite so environmentally friendly. The delivery took quite a bit longer this time due to the Christmas and New Year break - 3 weeks rather than the usual 1 week - and ten of the bags were burst, though with minimal loss of contents.

Hi Glen, Thanks for your kind comments on our wood pellets and service. In regards to getting bagged pellets directly from Invergordon, this is not available as our dedicated bagging plant is in Enniskillen (Northern Ireland). With sea crossing, our carbon footprint from northern Ireland to Scotland is minimized. We are very sorry to hear you had an issue with burst bags. Could you please contact us and we will deal with this query? Thanks Pauric

Great service. I've had various drivers deliver to me over the years and each one have been brilliant. No complaints. One suggestion - I get the 3 tonne bulk deliver, have any thoughts been given to instalment payments ? For example pay monthly in advance to reduce the larger payment on delivery. Thanks

Hi Paul, Thanks for the great feedback on our wood pellets and delivery drivers. Our customer feedback is very important to us and the point you have made on "installment payments" is noted and something we will look into. Thanks Pauric

No, not so much about your product. The problem here in this part of the world is trying to get somebody to service the boiler…trying to find a plumber who knows the first thing about pellet boiler. If the services were better more pellets would be used. There is an element of the Wankel about pellet boilers.

Pellets are fine, delivery is fantastic. I'v been using Balcas for years because I like the 10kg bags - so much easier to lift than 15kg! Always before I received deliveries with broken and punchured bags on the pallet until I bought direct. We now tend to get the same driver, which helps enormously and there is never any damaged bags
