Climate and Energy Gathering 2026: April 28th

Calling all community groups, organisations and individuals interested in sustainable energy!

Tickets are selling fast for our Climate and Energy Gathering on the 28th April, which will bring together community organisations, businesses, individuals and local authorities working in energy efficiency, sustainable energy and the reduction of carbon emissions. The gathering will feature speakers, workshops and breakout sessions, as well as a chance to meet others in the industry and showcase present and planned energy projects.

The day will be themed around ‘Powering Up’ and ‘Powering Down’, with the morning sessions looking at scaling up energy generation and opportunities for empowering communities, and the afternoon sessions looking into reducing energy demand at the home, business and community level.

Lunch will be provided, with opportunities to network with other industry professionals, browse exhibits from energy organisations, and read the shortlist from the FEL climate writing competition.

There will be eight workshop options to choose from on the day, with individuals able to attend four of the eight sessions. Confirmed breakout sessions include:

• Identifying regional community priorities for community energy reinvestment
• Regional retrofit hubs and their impact on energy reduction
• Investigating community building efficiency

A full agenda for the day as well as our full list of speakers will be announced shortly.

We are also welcoming community organisations with energy projects in the Forth Valley to showcase their activities. Please contact energy@felscotland.org if interested.
