All-Energy 2025, Glasgow

All-Energy, the UK’s largest low-carbon energy and renewables event, returns May 14-15, 2025, at the SEC, Glasgow.

You can find us on stand ORK60 in the Energy of Orkney pavilion.

Our presentations:

Wednesday 14th May:

• Advancing wave energy technology in Europe – the EuropeWave project
• Marine Renewables & FLOW Show Floor Theatre | 11:55 - 12:15

Join us as we discuss the EuropeWave initiative, a ground-breaking programme accelerating wave energy development across Europe.

Visit the EuropeWave page to learn more about the project.

• Wave energy co-location & multi-megawatt WEC clustering
• Marine Renewables & FLOW Show Floor Theatre | 12:20 - 12:40

As floating offshore wind structures move into deeper waters with stronger wave conditions, explore how wave energy and wind devices can share infrastructure for economic benefits. In response to these advantages, WES and Blackfish Engineering Design have developed a concept for a cluster of multiple wave energy devices on a single platform—an innovative solution for co-location with floating offshore wind farms.

Wave and Floating Wind Energy - Cost Benefit Analysis

• Exploring Alternative Wave Energy Generation: The Transformative Potential of Flexible Direct Generation Technology
• Marine Renewables & FLOW Show Floor Theatre | 12:45 - 13:05

Join us as we explore the next frontier in wave energy—Direct Generation. Wave energy has long been recognised as a promising renewable resource, with state-of-the-art devices currently demonstrating maturity and high-performance. In pursuit of continued improvement and cost reduction into the future, Direct Generation technology offers a groundbreaking alternative—eliminating conventional moving parts in favour of flexible, electrostatic energy conversion methods.

Our Direct Generation section on our website details the technology further and explains our strategy going forward.

• Streamlining the Offshore Wind Sector with Quick Connection Systems
• Offshore and Onshore Wind Show Floor Theatre | 15:15 - 15:40

Quick connection systems are essential for improving the efficiency of offshore technology installation and maintenance. They offer a route to significantly reducing time, costs, and operational risks. Originally developed through the WES QCS programme as a wave energy solution, they offer potential benefits for the effective deployment and retrieval of offshore wind turbines and other marine sectors. This session will provide a comprehensive exploration of three products developed under the Wave Energy Scotland programme—Q-Connect, PALM, and C-DART—highlighting their role in enhancing operational efficiency and reliability in offshore environments.

The Quick Connection Systems programme aimed to reduce the duration, cost and risk of offshore operations for connecting prototype wave energy converters to their moorings and/or electrical systems. Find out more here.

Thursday 15th May:

• Marine Renewables 3: Marine Energy in Scotland – What’s All the Comm-ocean
• Boisdale | 11:00 - 12:30

Join us to hear the latest developments in the marine energy sector in Scotland. Leading tidal and wave developers will update on technology progress demonstrations, discussing the sector’s progress of scaling up and moving to array demonstrations. Learn more about how these innovations are driving the industry forward and shaping the future of renewable marine energy, with insights from recent publications highlighting the future impact of these technologies.

This session is one shared between EMEC and Team Scotland
