Croatia heating costs surge: pellets +30%, firewood up to €90/m³

Retail prices for wood pellets in Croatia have risen roughly 30% year-on-year, with a 15kg bag now costing up to €7 and firewood reaching €90 per cubic meter. The increase signals sustained energy inflation for households heading into winter, likely driven by supply constraints and elevated demand. This adds to cost-of-living pressures and may influence consumer spending and inflation expectations in the region.
