Swedish house owners use more pellets for heating than ever before. When oil and electricity prices have reached top levels many people take note of the fact that pellets provide a both cheap and environmental friendly alternative. Increasing demand also gives an opportunity to introduce new products and alternatives on the market. Fixed price supply contracts for one or two years are becoming increasingly popular.
The number of house owners using pellets for heating recently increased to more than 100 000. Swedish households bought 350 000 tons of pellets during the first six months of this year. This is an increase of 72 % compared to the year before.
