All-Energy

All-Energy is an exhibition and conference for the renewable and low-carbon energy sector, run by RX at SEC Glasgow. The organiser calls it the UK’s largest low-carbon energy and renewables event, and says its aim since the first show in 2001 has been to put suppliers of renewable and low-carbon solutions and policy makers in front of developers, investors and buyers. It sits within our energy and sustainability shows.

All-Energy 2027

• Dates: Wednesday 12 and Thursday 13 May 2027
• Opening hours: 08:30 to 18:00 on Wednesday, 08:30 to 16:00 on Thursday
• Venue: SEC, Glasgow
• Registration: visitors register online and must print their own badge before arriving, as no badge printing is offered on site; badge holders are handed out at the door
• Age rule: children under 16 are not allowed in the exhibition halls

Overseas visitors can download a visa letter from the registration confirmation page, though the organiser points out this confirms interest rather than acting as an official invitation.

What is on

The programme combines a Strategic Summit, shaped by an Executive Committee, with free sessions across seven Show Floor Theatres covering renewables, hydrogen and energy systems. Meet the Buyer sessions offering pre-arranged meetings with buyers are listed as coming soon, and workshops and roundtables go deeper into technical and strategic topics. Feature areas named for the show include:

• Future Talent and Skills Hub, delivered with OPITO, on careers in the sector
• Scale-Up Zone with Energy Systems Catapult, for high-growth clean power companies
• Mission Clean Power Lounge, with DESNZ, GBE, NESO and others
• Innovators Hub with the Net Zero Technology Centre
• Women in New Energy Lounge, run with Energy Voice and W:NE
• Power Club, a networking space sponsored by Invity Energy Systems

The Giant Networking Evening and Civic Reception is set for 13 May at 18:00 in Hall 2 of the SEC. All-Energy is run as a Smart Event, so visitors use the Colleqt app on their smartphone instead of collecting business cards and brochures.

Who visits and who exhibits

The organiser names ScottishPower, SSE, bp, Shell, Natural Power, ABB and Siemens Gamesa among the companies taking part, with offshore and onshore wind, solar, hydrogen, grid and connections, and energy storage all represented. It states that 70% of visitors work in management, sales or procurement with buying power, and lists local authorities, consultancies, power suppliers, software developers, OEMs and education among buyer sectors. At the latest edition exhibitors came from across the UK and from 13 other countries including Denmark, Germany, Norway and the USA. Businesses weighing up a stand can enquire through the exhibitor form, and our guide to choosing your first UK trade show covers the wider decision.

History and show size

All-Energy began at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre in February 2001 with a paid conference. The conference became free in 2004, and the show moved to Glasgow in 2015. In 2017 Smart Urban Mobility Solutions was added, and in 2019 Dcarbonise, covering energy efficiency, low-carbon heat and transport, was co-located with it. The 2025 edition, held on 14 and 15 May, added a Grid and Networks theatre and ran the first Innovation Zone Competition for SMEs.
