About this event
We are proud to present the 12th Annual Net Zero Scotland Projects Conference, a national delivery-focused forum driving public-private collaboration to accelerate net-zero project delivery across Scotland.
Hosted in Edinburgh, this conference is specifically designed to support strategic partnerships between public sector programme owners and private sector solution providers. With major policy reforms shaping Scotland’s delivery landscape, this event creates a unique window of opportunity for delegates to connect, collaborate and translate policy into funded, compliant and deliverable projects.
This is not a trade fair or a generic exhibition. It is a curated, delivery-driven programme built around real projects, real funding drivers, real policy shifts and real outcomes.
Why This Event Matters in 2026
Why This Event Matters in 2026
Scotland is setting out a clear pathway to meet its carbon budgets between 2026 and 2040 and achieve net zero emissions by 2045. The Draft Climate Change Plan 2026–2040 outlines the policies and proposals the Scottish Government will use to reduce emissions across sectors, including energy, buildings, transport, industry and communities, and underlines the scale of delivery action now required.
At the same time, EPC Reform in Scotland will come into force in October 2026, transforming how buildings are assessed, prioritised and upgraded. New Heat Retention Ratings (HRR) will replace current EPC ratings and reduce the validity period from 10 years to 5, creating an urgent need for retrofit, monitored performance improvements and low-carbon system integration across public estate portfolios.
Together, these reforms are reshaping demand for energy performance improvement, retrofit delivery, data-driven compliance, system optimisation and scalable decarbonisation solutions, making Scotland one of the most dynamic markets for practical net-zero deployment in the UK.
