The prices of pellets in Germany have been falling for several months. The latest figures are striking: only four percent of consumers in Germany use pellets or firewood for heating. Pellets have proven themselves as an effective and inexpensive energy resource. Recently, pellet prices have remained stable and relatively low. Will this trend continue, or are prices expected to increase or decrease? The August 9 review gives a clear picture of the current situation.
Unlike piped gas, pellets are delivered to homes in large batches, similar to fuel oil or firewood. Therefore, it is important for consumers to compare suppliers and prices in order to make a profitable purchase. The data in the table below, obtained from "Heatingpellets24", shows pellet prices per ton and is updated regularly. Today, average pellet prices in Germany remain almost unchanged, with minor variations that do not significantly affect overall consumer spending.
Last year, prices rose in the summer after spring lows. The situation may repeat itself this year, although prices are already quite low and there may not be much room for further decline.
Current pellet prices: regional differences by federal states
Pellet prices vary depending on the region. There are clear differences between the different federal states, as each region processes wood and generates wood residues differently. Pellets are a regional fuel, so prices may vary by region. In general, pellet prices are the most favorable in southern Germany, while prices may be higher in the middle and northern regions.
