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 had e-mailed Forever-Fuels to stop the delivery as I was away on the day offered following their instructions in the order. Consequently I had not cleared the way through to the fuel store. The delivery arrived anyway, the driver was very patient and helpful as he made the delivery after waiting for my wife to open the store (which she was not expecting to do so was also nor ready). Full marks to the driver who would have probably have been justified in going on without delivery. I need to work through the order process with Forever Fuels to make sure that deliveries are confirmed by both parties to prevent future problems,.

Colin, Sorry for the confusion over the delivery date. Your email seems to have got lost somehow. We are looking into how that could have happened.

excellent service, arrived spot on time, good friendly staff, reliable and helpful. Prices could be a bit keener but I won't change suppliers unless you are significantly out on prices. It's a pleasure to deal with a company you can rely upon, Well Done.

Driver was excellent, actual delivery was spot on. The process of getting a quote and confirming it was not great. The quote did not arrive until we asked for the third time, then the auto email confirmation did not work, and after calling twice we got a second email, and even then no confirmation came through. Otherwise all goo, thanks

All fine except there is always a mess from the input valve to the road AND it always seems to rain before I can get to it (obviously not your fault) so we have soggy wood droppings lining our drive. Also mix up with date. With original order I was told 22nd then it said 17th on the email which I hadn't noticed (having agreed 22nd) Otherwise Nigel really helpful with changing delivery time which was appreciated.

Arrangements worked well. Is it possible to blow at a lesser intensity to minimise dust?

Poor communications about what time for delivery. Everything else was good especially the delivery driver being polite and courteous regarding timings and the issues experienced.

Quality of pellets - perfect. Driver - Mark - extremely helpful and informative. Great communications and arrives on time. Calls me to make sure I can be there at start and end of delivery. Delivery very quick after order. All in all a perfect service - thank you Forever Fuels! Brett Clarbour Green Farm

Delivery superb. Web-based systems for ordering need attention. It is probably better to phone than use the web.
