In order to be able to claim your renewable heat incentive (RHI), your wood pellets must come from a supplier registered on the Biomass Suppliers list (BSL). As part of your RHI commitment you will need to quote their BSL number on your RHI documents.
There are many different grades of wood pellets available on the market, but the main quality benchmark is ENPlusA1, which is recommended by most boiler manufactures.
Woodlets are ENPlusA1 and our parent company, Land Energy, is BSL registered so your RHI payments are safe with us. For more detailed information on the quality of wood pellets please see our dedicated page Wood Pellet Quality.
