Construction News Image

All-Energy, the UK's premier low-carbon energy and renewables exhibition, is set to return to the SEC Glasgow from 13–14 May 2026 for its 25th anniversary. The event will focus on critical industry drivers, including finance, investment, supply chain development, and transmission reform.

Keynote Insights

The event will feature major government addresses:

• Michael Shanks MP, Minister of State for Energy, will open the plenary session to discuss the UK Government’s strategy for achieving energy security.

• Chris Stark CBE, Head of the UK’s Mission for Clean Power, will deliver a keynote address on the second day of the conference.

For the first time, the conference programme has been shaped by a Strategic Summit committee, featuring high-profile leaders from organisations such as Siemens Energy, Scottish Renewables, NECCUS, Shepherd and Wedderburn, The Crown Estate, and SSEN-Transmission.

New features on the show floor this year include:

• The Scale-up Zone: A collaboration with Energy Systems Catapult to showcase solutions from SMEs.

• Solar and Storage Theatre: A dedicated space for one of the sector's fastest-growing areas.

• Interactive Workshops: A series of roundtables and peer-to-peer learning sessions.

Anam Khan, All-Energy Event Manager at RX Global, noted: “It is a pivotal time for the renewable energy sector and the need to collaborate more closely with stakeholders and policymakers has never been more important. The Energy Minister’s attendance creates a valuable opportunity for attendees to hear directly from government on progress and latest policy impacts.”

A central theme of this year's event is the development of the future energy workforce, supported by a new Skills and STEM programme in partnership with OPITO. The initiative aims to provide students with hands-on, real-world industry insights.

Stephen Marcos Jones, CEO of OPITO, stated: “The energy sector is undergoing a profound transformation... Equipping the next generation with the skills, knowledge and confidence to navigate this change is critical to the future success of our industry.”

With over 300 exhibitors expected—including global leaders like Hitachi Energy, SSEN, Schneider Electric, Enercon, and Nordex—All-Energy 2026 aims to provide a collaborative space for professionals to share knowledge and address the industry's most pressing priorities.

Registration for the event is free and can be completed via the official website: www.all-energy.co.uk/
