Workshops will explore the wider benefits of investment in tackling fuel poverty, partnerships with minority ethnic communities and the energy industry\u2019s role in supporting consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"434\" src=\"https:\/\/energycloud.org\/scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/10\/EAS-Conference-2026-1024x434.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-812\" srcset=\"https:\/\/energycloud.org\/scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/10\/EAS-Conference-2026-1024x434.avif 1024w, https:\/\/energycloud.org\/scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/10\/EAS-Conference-2026-300x127.avif 300w, https:\/\/energycloud.org\/scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/10\/EAS-Conference-2026-767x325.avif 767w, https:\/\/energycloud.org\/scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/10\/EAS-Conference-2026.avif 1128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speakers listed include Carolynne Hunter; Stephen Gethins MSP, Minister for Europe, External Affairs and Energy; Ross Armstrong, Chief Executive of Warmworks; and Andrew Ward, CEO of ScottishPower. The event will also include the sixth annual Fuel Poverty Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For EnergyCloud Scotland, the conference\u2019s focus on fairer futures speaks directly to the need to connect Scotland\u2019s renewable energy resources with its social needs. Surplus renewable electricity continues to go unused while households struggle to afford essential energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EnergyCloud\u2019s work demonstrates how some of that surplus can be used to provide free energy to households experiencing or at risk of fuel poverty. Greater collaboration between housing providers, energy companies, public bodies and communities can help extend that benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conference offers an opportunity to share experience, strengthen partnerships and advance solutions that make Scotland\u2019s energy transition work for more people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>View the programme:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/eas.org.uk\/annual-conference\/\">https:\/\/eas.org.uk\/annual-conference\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EnergyCloud Scotland is encouraging colleagues and partners to take part in Energy Action Scotland\u2019s Annual Conference on 19\u201320 November 2026 at the Golden Jubilee Conference Hotel in Clydebank.
