Despite the heating season having just finished, Czechs are already stocking on firewood for the next one, fearing the rising energy prices, Czech Television reported on Monday.
For example, the Hradec Králové Municipal Forests report a threefold increase in demand for firewood compared to last year. Even people who had previously preferred other heating sources are now buying wood, even though its price is also growing.
In the forests of Hradec Králové, prices of firewood have increased by fifty percent since the beginning of the year. Forest supervisor Tomáš Jankovský says the greatest demand is for two-metre logs of spruce or pine, adding that their supply is sufficient at the moment.
“As far as coniferous fuel wood is concerned, we are able to cover the demand, but unfortunately there is a shortage of deciduous fuel wood,” Jan Rousek from the Czech Forestry Academy in Trutnov told Czech Television.
