All-Energy 2026 attracted more than 13,300 visitors to Glasgow’s SEC on 14-15 May, a new attendance record for the UK’s flagship low-carbon energy and renewables event in its 25th anniversary year. More than 300 companies exhibited on the show floor, while the conference programme addressed energy security, offshore wind, transport decarbonisation and clean energy finance.
UK Minister for Energy Michael Shanks MP used his day-one keynote to frame the current energy crisis linked to the Middle East conflict as “that line in the sand” for the UK’s energy policy, pledging to go “further and faster” on clean energy deployment. Chris Stark CBE, Head of the UK Mission for Clean Power, reflected that “in 2022, we didn’t move quick enough from fossil fuels” and confirmed the clean power mission continues regardless of political uncertainty.
Fintan Slye, CEO of the National Electricity System Operator (NESO), pointed to Scotland’s potential to host artificial intelligence data centres, noting that the infrastructure required could create an economic ecosystem extending well beyond the data centre itself. Anam Khan, All-Energy Event Manager at RX Global, said the event has “cemented its status as a platform for the low-carbon and renewable sector, bringing together the conversations, political engagement and cross-sector collaboration needed to drive the energy transition forward.”
All-Energy 2026 was organised by RX Global and held at the SEC in Glasgow. The event returns to Glasgow on 12-13 May 2027, with stand bookings now open.
