Ministers headline All-Energy’s Glasgow return in May

All-Energy adds ministerial weight to its Glasgow anniversary conference programme. The 25th edition will bring ministers, developers, technology suppliers, and investors together as grid, skills, and clean power delivery pressures intensify.


All-Energy will return to Glasgow on 13 and 14 May with stronger ministerial representation than usual, as organisers position the show’s 25th anniversary edition around the practical bottlenecks now shaping UK clean power delivery.

Michael Shanks MP, Minister of State for Energy at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, is due to deliver the opening plenary keynote, while Chris Stark, head of the UK’s Mission for Clean Power, will speak on day two. That gives the event a more direct line into current government thinking at a point when transmission reform, supply chain depth, project finance, and skills capacity are moving from conference talking points into programme risk.

Organiser RX has also reworked the event structure for 2026, introducing a Strategic Summit Committee for the first time. Members span companies and organisations including Siemens Energy, Scottish Renewables, NECCUS, Crown Estate Scotland, SSEN Transmission, OPITO, and others across utilities, finance, technology, and policy. On the exhibition floor, the programme now includes a Scale-Up Zone delivered with Energy Systems Catapult, a Future Talent & Skills Hub with OPITO, show-floor theatres, and additional workshops and roundtables.

The scale remains significant. All-Energy’s official visitor information points to more than 300 exhibitors, more than 600 speakers, and over 150 content sessions, with developers, OEMs, utilities, investors, and policymakers all targeting the same Glasgow dates. That breadth is useful only if the event keeps its focus, and this year’s programme appears to be aiming less at broad optimism and more at the engineering, investment, and delivery questions now slowing deployment across the UK energy system.

Registration is open via the event registration page, with the organiser stating that a £49 visitor ticket price will apply from 6 May 2026.
