The government is working on financial aid for the households concerned up to 200 euros, on the model of the energy check or the boost granted to users of domestic fuel.
A traditional energy check, its exceptional version scheduled for the end of the year and, from 8 November next, specific aid for homes that heat with oil. What about firewood, the price of which continues to rise? The government is working on financial aid for the households concerned height of 200 euros. Nobody would understand that we help those who heat themselves with fossil fuels and not those with wood, declared in particular the Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne. But the precise modalities of the aid have not yet been established.
This assistance to households that use firewood has two advantages. First, the fireplace or stove is an alternative to heaters that consume electricity and gas. The presence of one of these tools is also a prerequisite for subscribing to EDF’s Tempo offer, promoted by the government in the event of cold winters.
Between 80 and 120 euros the stre of wood
Then, the wood has seen its prices soar and sometimes find it within the obstacle course. According to a study by the magazine Heliotherma, the market is destabilized. The price of the ster (1 cubic meter) of wood has increased by 25% (80 euros in rural areas / 120 euros in urban areas) and the range (of 900 kilos!) of granules or pellets jumped by 45% to reach 600 euros, on average. To this price, you must also add the amount of delivery.

According to the same study, the departments of Eure, Haute-Vienne, Aube, Cher and Haute-Loire are those where the tension is the strongest. There is a greater concentration of wood heating in the diagonal of the French vacuum, as well as in Normandy, compared to the Mediterranean axis or the Atlantic axis, analyzes Pierre Giraud, the founder of Heliotherma.
