Wood pellet boilers

We live in a rural area and rely on wood pellets for heating and hot water. It has been mentioned that LPG and oil fired systems are eligible for government support, but we've not seen any mention of wood pellets. Has anyone seen or heard an announcement regarding support for wood burners?
Like all energy sources, the price of wood pellets has increased significantly. When I checked last week the price had almost doubled.

2.72kWp PV facing SSW installed Jan 2012. 11 x 247w panels, 2.5kw inverter. 28MWh generated, long-term average 2.6 Os.
Our pellet costs have increased from 6.2p/kWh in July 21 to 9.5p when I bought a years worth of pellets in July/August 22. In the same timescale our weighted average electric has increased from 15p to 45p per kWh.
Although the pellets contribute to our additional £120 a month year on year energy costs they are only £30 of it, I suspect that's why the focus has been on urban households.
