What price are people paying for bulk pellets these days? Just took delivery of 5 ton and and price has jumped to £343,that’s up £83 at ton from my last fill, Pity the RHI rate didn’t follow suit!
??Makes up for my plant being mothballed. Originally breakeven point was 250 per tonne and I was stuffed by imported pellets at 80 per tonne. Hopefully these prices will last a bit longer.
Russia and Ukraine used to dump pellets on the UK market. As soon as fighting stops I am sure they will start dumping again. No my cost of heating remains the same as last year ie FOC.??
As opposed to heating with oil, gas or electric. Hasn't it all gone up??
Who is that from we have been paying nearly £380 all summer for 18 tonne loadsWhat price are people paying for bulk pellets these days? Just took delivery of 5 ton and and price has jumped to £343,that’s up £83 at ton from my last fill, Pity the RHI rate didn’t follow suit!
How much of the breakdown is due to electricity costs to run the plant?Makes up for my plant being mothballed. Originally breakeven point was 250 per tonne and I was stuffed by imported pellets at 80 per tonne. Hopefully these prices will last a bit longer.
Costs me zero as its a means of turning excess electric into a product. Just in pelleting I use 120 kw per tonne with a further 10kw per tonne for the hammer mill.How much of the breakdown is due to electricity costs to run the plant?
My average for the past 8 years around the 3800KwHow many kWh from a tonne?

But for the rest of us.. budgeting on about £40 per tonne is the electrical cost alone of pelleting and common sense dictates that total production costs are about 50% of retail price as a complete cost which means the average producer is spending up to £200 per tonne and is making a much fairer reward compared to arable per tonne for example.. cheers JohnCosts me zero as its a means of turning excess electric into a product.

Put your machine on wheels and charge wear into the price then? Im keen!!I look at 250 as a fair return anything above is super profit but most of the last 10 years my machine has been mothballed as pellets have been dumped on the UK market at between 80 to 120 a tonne. The big cost is the wear of the equipment.
