What will the price of pellets be in Luxembourg in 2026?

In 2026, bulk wood pellets delivered in silos will trade at around 340 to 380 €/t, depending on the distributor and the season. In pallets (66 bags of 15 kg, i.e. ~990 kg), you can expect to pay 380 to 420 €. The unit 15 kg bag varies between 5.90 and 6.50 €. These prices represent around 7.75 ct€/kWh in bulk - considerably less than gas (~10-12 ct€/kWh) or fuel oil (~11-12 ct€/kWh). Prices are indicative and vary according to distributor, quantity and time of year. Ask for quotes from Goffinet Energies, Gulf, Husting & Reiser or Piskorski.

Will there still be support for pellets in Luxembourg in 2026?

The temporary aid of 35 % on the bulk price (capped at 200 €/t), introduced in response to the 2022 crisis, ended on 31 December 2024 and no longer exists in 2026. However, the Klimabonus 2026 still subsidises the installation of a pellet boiler or stove under the following conditions: minimum ErP efficiency class A+, dust emissions ≤ 8 mg/m³, NOx emissions ≤ 200 mg/m³, efficiency ≥ 90 %. Additional aid is available for the particulate filter (capped at 1,500 €, i.e. 50 % of actual costs). Enovos Enoprimes and municipal grants can be combined.

How many tonnes of pellets do you need per year for a house in Luxembourg?

For a pellet stove used as the main heating source in a properly insulated house of 100 to 120 m², you need to allow for 2 to 2.5 tonnes per year. For a pellet-fired boiler heating a 150 m² house, you're looking at 3 to 4 tonnes. The simple rule: divide your annual heating requirements in kWh by 5 to obtain the kg of pellets you need. If you heat with gas, 2 kg of pellets = 1 m³ of gas. If you heat with oil, 2 kg of pellets = 1 litre of oil.

Is pellet heating cheaper than gas in Luxembourg?

By 2026, yes - significantly. The cost per useful kWh of bulk pellets is around 8.6 ct€ (boiler efficiency 90 %), compared with 10 to 12 ct€ for Luxembourg natural gas. On a consumption of 3 tonnes per year (150 m² house), the annual saving compared with gas can amount to several hundred euros. What's more, unlike gas, pellets are not subject to Luxembourg's CO2 tax (45 €/tonne in 2026). This comparison depends on current prices - see the Switchr.lu heating cost comparison for up-to-date data.

Do I need a silo to buy bulk pellets in Luxembourg?

Yes, bulk delivery by blower truck requires a suitable silo (capacity of 3 to 10 tonnes, depending on your annual consumption). Without a silo, you can order in pallets (990 kg, ~380-420 €) or single bags (15 kg, ~5.90-6.50 €/bag), but at a higher cost per kilo. For a pellet boiler, the silo is generally part of the installation and its cost is included in the installer's quote. A stand-alone pellet stove incorporates a small tank weighing a few kg directly into the appliance.

When is the best time to order pellets from Luxembourg?

The most favourable period is spring (April-July), when demand is low, prices are lower (savings of 20 to 50 €/t) and delivery times are shorter. Conversely, at the end of August-November, demand rises sharply as winter approaches. If you have a large enough silo, ordering a year in advance in the spring is the most economical strategy. Some distributors, such as Goffinet Energies, offer monthly payment plans to smooth out expenditure over the year.

1. Pellet prices by format in 2026

The price of wood pellets depends primarily on the format you choose. Three options exist, with significant price differences: bulk (pneumatic delivery into a silo), a pallet of 66 bags of 15 kg each (~990 kg), and individual bags of 15 kg. The more you buy at once, the less you pay per kilogram.

Format	Indicative price 2026	Cost per kWh (NCV)	Advantage	Constraint
Bulk (silo delivery)	340–380 €/t delivered	~7.75 ct€/kWh	Cheapest per kg	Storage silo required
Pallet (66 bags × 15 kg)	380–420 €/pallet (~990 kg)	~8.10 ct€/kWh	No silo needed	Pallet storage, handling
Individual bag (15 kg)	5.90–6.50 €/bag	~8.50–9.00 ct€/kWh	Flexible, no commitment	Most expensive per kg

Indicative prices for the Greater Region (June 2026), based on market data from France and Belgium (sources: Boisreduc Q1 2025, Brazeco 2026, Pelleteco 2025), comparable for the Luxembourg market. Actual prices vary by supplier, season and quantity. Request an up-to-date quote from your distributor.

Pellet prices vary seasonally: rates are generally lower in spring and summer (April–July), when demand drops. Ordering in advance during the off-season can save you 20–50 €/t compared to winter prices — a sound strategy if your silo is large enough to store a full season’s supply.

2. Price history: from the 2022 crisis to stabilisation

The Luxembourg pellet market went through severe turbulence from 2022. Understanding this history helps interpret current prices and anticipate future trends.

Pellet price evolution (bulk, Greater Region):
Pre-2022 (normal period): 200–300 €/t (historical reference level)
Summer–autumn 2022 (crisis peak): up to 750 €/t in Luxembourg per distributors (Paperjam)
2023 (gradual return): significant drop, stabilisation around 360–400 €/t
Q1 2025: 356.57 €/t bulk (stable, -0.3% vs Q4 2024 — Boisreduc source)
2026: 340–380 €/t bulk, stabilisation confirmed
Current prices remain above pre-crisis levels but have returned to manageable levels.

The 2022 crisis resulted from a perfect storm: the European energy price explosion, record demand (households rushed to pellets as a gas alternative), wood shortages linked to Asian exports, and soaring production costs. Some Luxembourg distributors saw monthly volumes multiply fivefold in weeks. The government responded with a temporary 35% subsidy on bulk prices (capped at 200 €/t), which ran from January 2023 to December 2024 and is now expired.

3. Kiowatt — Luxembourg’s only pellet producer

Luxembourg has a unique asset: Kiowatt Pellets S.A., the country’s only pellet producer, based in Bissen/Roost in central Luxembourg. Founded as a partnership between LuxEnergie S.A. and the Belgian wood industry group François, Kiowatt is a circular economy showcase. It operates a biomass tri-generation facility — simultaneously producing green electricity, heat (for a local district heating network) and cooling (for a neighbouring data centre), using end-of-life wood. This waste heat also dries the wood for pellet production, minimising the overall carbon footprint.

Kiowatt produces approximately 75,000 tonnes/year under the BADGER Pellets® brand, certified DINplus, BSL and PEFC, with the « Made in Luxembourg » label since 2014. Around 60,000 tonnes are used in Luxembourg. The main Luxembourg distributor is Husting & Reiser, the official BADGER Pellets® partner. Three integrated bio-sites — Latour (Belgium), Thimister (Belgium) and Bissen (Luxembourg) — form the BADGER Pellets® network serving the Greater Region.

5. Choosing quality pellets: ENplus, DINplus, PEFC

Not all pellets offer the same performance. Low-quality pellets clog your appliance faster, reduce its efficiency and can void the manufacturer’s warranty. The key certifications to look for are ENplus A1 (European, covers the full supply chain from producer to delivery) and DINplus (German, TÜV-certified, with stricter focus on combustion emissions). Both are based on the EN ISO 17225-2 standard and require: moisture ≤ 10%, ash ≤ 0.7%, fines ≤ 1%, mechanical durability ≥ 98%, and a net calorific value of 4.6–5.3 kWh/kg. The PEFC or FSC label additionally certifies sustainable forest management of the source wood.

Never use uncertified pellets in a pellet stove or boiler under manufacturer’s warranty. Most manufacturers require ENplus A1 or DINplus certified pellets to maintain warranty coverage. Using non-certified pellets can damage the burner — and repairs will be entirely at your expense.

6. Calculating your consumption and annual budget

Annual consumption estimates by profile (Greater Region):
Pellet stove — supplementary or main single-room heating
~80–100 m² house (decent insulation): 1.5–2 t/year
~120–150 m² house (decent insulation): 2–3 t/year

Pellet boiler — full central heating
~100 m² house: 2–3 t/year
~150 m² house: 3–4 t/year
~200 m² house: 4–5 t/year

Key equivalence: 2 kg pellets ≈ 1 L heating oil ≈ 1 m³ natural gas.
Quick formula: divide annual heating needs (kWh) by 5 to get kg of pellets needed.

7. Pellets vs gas, oil, electricity: cost per useful kWh

Energy source	Fuel cost (indicative)	Typical efficiency	Estimated useful kWh cost
Pellets (bulk)	~7.75 ct€/kWh gross	90%	~8.6 ct€/kWh
Natural gas (Luxembourg)	~10–12 ct€/kWh	95–100% (condensing)	~10–12 ct€/kWh
Heating oil	~11–12 ct€/kWh	90–95%	~11–13 ct€/kWh
Resistive electricity	~20+ ct€/kWh	100%	~20+ ct€/kWh
Air-to-water heat pump	~20 ct€/kWh elec.	SCOP ~3	~6–8 ct€/kWh

Indicative comparisons. For current electricity and gas prices in Luxembourg, see our heating cost comparison.

The heat pump remains the most cost-effective per useful kWh thanks to its COP — but requires an initial investment of 15,000–25,000 €. Pellets are the most competitive combustion-based option (well ahead of gas and heating oil), with the added advantage of being a renewable energy source and locally producible via Kiowatt. See our guide gas boiler vs heat pump for a deeper comparison.

8. 2026 grants and subsidies for pellet heating in Luxembourg

Installing a pellet stove or boiler is eligible for several cumulative support mechanisms in Luxembourg in 2026. The main ones are the Klimabonus Wunnen 2026 (state grant requiring ErP class A+ or better, particulate emissions ≤ 8 mg/m³, NOx ≤ 200 mg/m³, efficiency ≥ 90%; additional grant for a particle filter: capped at €1,500 / 50% of effective costs; bonus of +15% if a buffer tank is installed), the Enoprimes (Enovos complementary grant, fully cumulative with Klimabonus), municipal grants (€1,000–€3,000 depending on the commune), and the Klimaprêt (interest-subsidised loan from partner banks). Always submit a prior approval request before signing a contract — retroactive grants are strictly not permitted.

The Klimabonus 2026 regime has removed the old requirement for the replaced boiler to be at least 10 years old — you can now benefit from the full grant even if your existing gas or oil boiler is relatively recent. For full details on all energy grants in Luxembourg, see our guide energy subsidies and grants Luxembourg 2026.

9. Tips to buy pellets cheaper in Luxembourg

To minimise your pellet budget: order in advance during the off-season (April–July) when prices are 20–50 €/t lower; opt for bulk delivery if you have a silo (10–15% cheaper per kg than pallets); compare quotes from at least two or three distributors before ordering; consider an annual payment plan if offered by your distributor; and never sacrifice certification for price — non-certified pellets cost more in the long run through lower efficiency and potential warranty issues.

Individual 15 kg bags cost 5.90–6.50 €. These prices represent around 7.75 ct€/kWh in bulk — well below gas or heating oil. Prices are indicative and vary by distributor, quantity and time of year. Request quotes directly from Goffinet Énergies, Gulf, Husting & Reiser or Piskorski.

Is there a pellet producer in Luxembourg?

Yes. Kiowatt Pellets S.A., based in Bissen/Roost, is Luxembourg’s only pellet producer. It produces around 75,000 tonnes per year (of which ~60,000 t are used in Luxembourg) under the BADGER Pellets® brand, certified DINplus, BSL and PEFC, with the « Made in Luxembourg » label since 2014. Kiowatt is a biomass tri-generation facility producing pellets, green electricity, heat and cooling from end-of-life wood. BADGER Pellets® are distributed in Luxembourg primarily by Husting & Reiser.

Are there still subsidies for buying pellets in Luxembourg?

The temporary 35% subsidy on bulk pellet prices (capped at 200 €/t), introduced in response to the 2022 energy crisis, ended on 31 December 2024 and is no longer available. However, the Klimabonus 2026 still subsidises the installation of pellet boilers and stoves (with efficiency and emissions conditions), and Enoprimes remain available for Enovos customers.

How many tonnes of pellets does a house in Luxembourg need per year?

For a pellet stove as the main heating for a 100–120 m² well-insulated house, expect 2–2.5 t/year. For a pellet boiler heating a 150 m² home, plan for 3–4 t/year. A simple rule: divide your annual heating needs in kWh by 5 to get the kg of pellets required. If you currently heat with gas, 2 kg of pellets ≈ 1 m³ of gas; with heating oil, 2 kg ≈ 1 litre.

What is the difference between ENplus A1 and DINplus?

Both are based on the same European standard EN ISO 17225-2 and guarantee equivalent pellet quality (moisture <10%, ash <0.7%, durability ≥98%, net calorific value 4.6–5.3 kWh/kg). ENplus A1 is European and covers the full supply chain; DINplus is a German certification focusing more on combustion quality and emissions, with random factory inspections. For domestic use in Luxembourg, both are equally suitable. Always choose pellets carrying one of these certifications — never buy uncertified pellets for a stove or boiler under warranty.
