Expert Biomass Boiler Solutions
Established in 2014, Wye Valley Energy has become a trusted provider of renewable energy solutions across Wales and the Midlands. Our team brings over two decades of combined experience in biomass boiler supply and installation, serving communities in Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Shropshire, North Gloucestershire, Powys, and Monmouth. As a joint venture with leading renewable heating company Treco, we combine technical expertise with agricultural heritage to deliver sustainable heating systems that reduce fuel costs by up to 80% and emissions by up to 96%. Our MD Richard Collins, a former Hereford dairy farmer, pioneered the first biomass boiler installation at Humber Court Farm eight years ago, which now operates a district heating scheme using locally sourced wood fuel.We maintain rigorous quality standards through our MCS accreditation and commitment to using only RHI-compliant biomass fuel. Our technical director Ashley Stokes oversees all installations with 15 years' heating industry experience, including specialist renewable energy projects. As active practitioners of our solutions, our offices and farm buildings are heated by working biomass systems that visitors can inspect. This hands-on approach ensures we deliver not just equipment, but comprehensive renewable energy strategies tailored to each client's needs.
