Firewood demand rises as winter approaches in Greece
As winter approaches, demand for firewood is rising as households seek cost-effective heating solutions. Industry professional Giorgos Kaskalidis notes that market prices are currently around 140-150€ per cubic meter. He offers a rate of 125€ per cubic meter for most types, with the exception of olive wood. This represents a minor increase of approximately 5% compared to last year, attributed largely to rising transportation costs.
In Athens, the average consumer typically procures between 3 and 5 cubic meters per season. Using energy-efficient fireplaces is recommended to reduce consumption and improve heat output. For northern Greece, heating needs are significantly higher; for instance, a small accommodation in Nymfaio may require 30-40 cubic meters annually, with consumption spiking during extreme weather events.
