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.

Delivery driver was very courteous and managed to fill store to max capacity, which previously hasn't happened. He did this by recalibrating the pressure to accommodate our impact mat, which often creates a void. Very grateful!

Everything about the delivery itself was immaculate as usual. It's just that having to wait the best part of two weeks for a delivery can be a bit testing. I do try to appreciate the problems resulting from the general shortage of pellets.

I have been ordering wood pellets from Forever Fuels for the last 4 Years as they are local to where i live, i am very disappointed in their price increase as this is far to excessive. I understand that there might be a shortage in wood pellets but to also give a reason of the increase is due to putting the price up in winter when most customers need to order is hardly appropriate. the lady that i dealt with in the office was very mater of fact whit an attitude of take it or leave it. on a plus side the delivery driver as always was very helpful and kept me informed of my delivery. I feel that due to the price increase i will have a shop around to see if there is an alternative supplier.

Efficient and friendly delivery. Service could have been improved by adding to another local order thus reducing delivery costs. I had ordered with 3 weeks lead in time to allow for this ,but the delivery was made next day as a single consignment with cost increase of approximately £50 per ton over the last delivery received in August 2017
