Returning to All-Energy for a third year, the MCS team were in Glasgow from Wednesday 14 – Thursday 15 May exhibiting at Scotland’s largest low-carbon energy event, held at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC).
Championing home-grown energy, we delivered two speaker sessions over the two days, covering key topics such as upcoming developments to MCS Standards, MCS’ importance in the sector, and the evolving landscape of renewable energy in Scotland. Throughout the event, our team were also on stand to engage with attendees about the benefits of becoming MCS certified for small-scale renewable technologies, the critical role of home decarbonisation, and all things MCS.
Here are some of our highlights from the show.
DAY 1
Our first day at All-Energy 2025 got off to a strong start! Kicking things off, our CEO, Ian Rippin, delivered a speaker session on the Energy Insight stage titled ‘MCS’ Role in Driving Confidence in Renewables’. He spoke about the growing number of consumers choosing MCS certified installers for the assurance of quality and reliability in their renewable installations.
Ian discussed the Redeveloped Installer Scheme, he explains “As part of the redeveloped Scheme, MCS will be contacting every consumer with an MCS installation. We have already contacted over 45,000 homeowners with a heat pump installation through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, and we want to extend this across all technologies”.
DAY 2
On our second day, our Market Development Director, Dan White, took to the stage in the Dcarbonise Theatre to speak on ‘The Latest Standards Driving Confidence in Low Carbon Heating’. He explored the evolving landscape of MCS certified low carbon heating technologies, providing updates on heat pump advancements and offering a first look at our upcoming standard for Thermal Energy Storage Systems (TESS). Dan’s session highlighted how robust standards are key to building trust and accelerating adoption across the sector.
Dan on Thermal Energy Storage systems said: “We are looking at the creation of an installation Standard, which is in discussion now. This will focus on hydronic, central heating systems and domestic hot water. Tariff structure and consumer protections are a key novel element.”
Events like All-Energy provide a fantastic platform to connect with professionals from across the low-carbon industry, exchange ideas, and drive meaningful conversations that move the sector forward.
