The explosion of interest in renewable energy for homes and businesses has seen unprecedented expansion for Organic Energy, the sole UK supplier for the ÖkoFEN range of biomass boilers.
The high tech, low carbon, Austrian-engineered boilers have proven popular for cutting energy bills and reducing environmental impacts with increasingly eco-conscious Organic Energy customers.
Already way ahead with year-on-year sales by October last year (2014), the firm went on to have a record November, selling more boilers in that month alone than it had done in the whole of 2012.
Organic Energy, led by renewable energy pioneer Andy Boroughs, was already enjoying record sales for the first half of 2014, with sales up by more than £1m on the same period in 2013 and the business is currently on course to have more than tripled its wood pellet boiler sales in 2014.
Mr Boroughs, who was instrumental in introducing wood pellet boiler technology to the UK, said the ÖkoFEN wood pellet boilers are at the cutting edge of their field.
“We are the sole UK supplier for the brand, having a close relationship with the manufacturer and I’m delighted that we are currently the fastest growing distributor in Europe for ÖkoFEN.
“We had a phenomenal year in 2014 and there are no signs of it slowing for 2015. The products we supply, including solar thermal installations as well as the boilers, are very much coming into their own now. As homeowners and businesses look closely at their costs and their environmental footprint, they are coming to realise that renewables are the way forward and that wood pellet boilers are among the most efficient of those technologies.
“We have seen growth in everything from smaller hand-filled boilers to larger installations which power entire corporate buildings and we think 2015 and beyond will start to see significant growth in community-based projects, where the ability to generate heat and power is taken into the hands of groups who no longer wish to rely on the big suppliers.
“Our national electricity supply is looking increasingly unreliable as consecutive governments have dithered over the way forward, so many of the people and organisations we deal with want to take control of the issue for themselves.”
