Ofgem to act over poor RHI uptake; Agenda for Cardiff Renewable Heat Incentive Seminar, Tuesday 27 March

Wednesday, March 21st, 2012

We’re looking forward to attending OFGEM’s free RHI seminar on how to apply for funding for renewable heat generation under the Renewable Heat Incentive. It is being held on Tuesday 27th March at the Park Inn, Cardiff.

We have had lots of feedback from biomass boiler applicants who are finding the process a bit of a minefield. We’ll be finding out about RHI Metering, the data you will need to provide and much more, so we hope to find out lots that we can share with you over the coming weeks that will make your applications quicker and easier.

To find out more about the agenda for the session;

Treco at Energy NOW Expo This week

Monday, February 13th, 2012

We’re looking forward to being at the Energy Now Expo in Malvern Showground on 15th & 16th Feb. You’ll find us on stand 55 and we will be unveiling our crisp new brand identity, as well as having some of our boilers on the stand and a wealth of information.

The event is targeted at farmers and landowners and our sales team will be on hand to answer any questions about our biomass boilers and how to make the most of the Renewable Heat Incentive.

Why Visit Energy Now Expo?

Farming is one of the most energy intensive industries in operation today. As these energy costs continue to rise, increasing numbers of farmers are looking for alternative energy sources in order to reduce their bills, as well as their carbon emissions. The event will:

• Explain how each of the renewable energy sources work
• Demonstrate how and why renewable energy offers an excellent diversification opportunity
• Show how renewable energy can help you save money on power, fuel and heating bills
• Detail the financial returns offered by initiatives such as the Feed-In Tariff and the Renewable Heat Incentive
• Outline how farmers and landowners can earn extra income by selling excess power back to the grid
• Debate these issues with farmers and landowners
• Have access to practical workshops on each energy type
• Let you hear key people from industry speak about all the opportunities available and how to make them work for you.

We look forward to seeing you there!!!!

Working together for a premier wood pellet fuel supply service

Thursday, December 15th, 2011

Following the recent launch of the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) there is an increased focus on the service provided by biomass equipment installers and wood pellet suppliers alike, and their relationship with one another. As with most industries, the very best levels of service are achieved when all the parties involved in the process work in partnership.

By keeping close relationships with wood pellet suppliers, such as Woodpellets2u, we are in an informed position to provide our customers with detailed knowledge about the quality of the pellets and their specific characteristics. Similarly, Woodpellets2u are then able to give advice on the best type of fuel to ensure the long life of the biomass boiler. This partnership ensures that high standards are maintained at all times, with a consistent service offered from right the way from the initial installation to the ongoing supply of wood pellets.

As the UK’s only ENPlus certified wood pellet delivery company, Woodpellets2u have a fleet of sophisticated delivery vehicles to ensure that the wood pellets are delivered below 1 bar of pressure, minimising any stress on the pellets, and an extraction system to prevent any build up of excess dust in the pellet store.

Regular communication between all the pieces of the wood pellet jigsaw ensures that customers receive a fluid service based on the highest levels of customer service. As the renewable energy industry continues its rapid expansion, maintaining these strong relationships will be a key factor in elevating wood pellets to the popularity they have enjoyed across Europe.

Surge in Scottish Biomass Market

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Following TRECO General Manager Carl Young’s participation in the Low Carbon Building Programme Regional Events held across the UK, but particularly popular in Edinburgh where over 100 attended, TRECO is now responding to a flurry of installation quotation requests from North of the Border!

That being the case we have noted the Scottish Government has announced a further funding incentive for companies and district heating projects to switch to Biomass under the Scottish Biomass Heating Scheme (SBHS). However, the closing date for applications is mid February, so if you are based in Scotland then read on….

The £3.3 million Scottish Biomass Heat Scheme is Scotland-wide, funded by Scottish Government, Forestry Commission Scotland and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

The SBHS provides grants for the installation of biomass heating systems in business premises and district heating demonstrators.

The SBHS provides support for small-medium sized enterprises, and is restricted to heat-only biomass applications.

The Scottish Government particularly welcomes applications for district heating demonstrators from private developers. Priority will be given to businesses who are not eligible for other funding streams, such as the Scotland Rural Development Programme.

There is an initial enquiry form to log your interest and obtain further guidance from the SBHS team and early contact is advised to clarify eligibility and outline your project’s scope.

The closing date for applications is the 12th February 2010.
