emex 2026 returns to Excel London on 25–26 November, bringing together thousands of professionals working across energy management, sustainability, infrastructure, the built environment and net zero delivery.
As the UK’s leading event for energy management and net zero, emex provides two days of practical insight, technology, case studies and networking for organisations looking to reduce costs, improve resilience and make measurable progress on decarbonisation.
More than 4,500 professionals, 100+ expert speakers and 100+ exhibitors are expected to take part in the 2026 event.
For GreenFleet readers, emex is particularly relevant as the relationship between transport and energy becomes increasingly important.
Fleet electrification is also an energy challenge
The move to electric vehicles is changing the way organisations think about their wider energy requirements.
Introducing EVs into a fleet is not simply a vehicle procurement decision. Organisations also need to consider where and when vehicles will charge, the capacity available at individual sites, the cost of additional electricity demand and how charging can be integrated with wider energy strategies.
For larger fleets, this can involve questions around grid connections, peak demand, smart charging, battery storage, onsite generation and flexibility.
As more vehicles, buildings and operational systems become electrified, organisations will need a clearer understanding of how these different demands interact.
emex brings together many of the people, technologies and ideas helping businesses and public sector organisations respond to these challenges.
Practical insight from across the energy sector
Visitors can access an extensive free-to-attend conference programme featuring more than 100 speakers from organisations working across energy, infrastructure, sustainability and technology.
The programme will examine some of the biggest issues affecting organisations today, including energy security, volatility, resilience, decarbonisation and the transition to a more flexible electricity system.
For organisations electrifying their fleets, these wider energy conversations can be critical.
The Power Responsive Theatre will focus on energy flexibility, demand-side response and distributed energy resources, exploring how businesses can manage demand more intelligently and play a more active role in the electricity system.
This is particularly relevant for sites adding significant EV charging capacity. Smarter management of when electricity is used can help organisations respond to capacity constraints, manage costs and reduce pressure during periods of high demand.
The programme will feature experts including Tom Parsons, Commercial Director at Good Energy, whose experience includes the development of EV and battery charging tariffs alongside renewable energy solutions.
Rachel Stanley, Director of Commercial Product and Revenue Growth at OakTree Power, will also join the programme. OakTree Power works within energy flexibility, an area likely to become increasingly relevant as organisations look to balance rising electricity demand with operational and commercial requirements.
See solutions in action
Alongside the conference programme, the emex exhibition gives visitors the opportunity to meet technology providers and explore products, services and solutions across a wide range of energy and sustainability challenges.
These include energy management systems, smart technology, building controls, battery storage, onsite generation, flexibility, carbon reduction and energy efficiency.
For fleet professionals, this offers an opportunity to look beyond the vehicle and consider the wider infrastructure needed to support the transition.
The Solutions Showcase will also bring practical implementation to the stage, featuring projects, case studies and technologies that demonstrate measurable real-world results.
Rather than focusing only on future ambitions, emex is designed to help visitors understand what organisations are doing now, what is working and how similar approaches might be applied within their own operations.
Building greater energy resilience
Energy resilience is becoming increasingly important for organisations of all sizes.
Changing energy markets, grid constraints, electrification and the need to reduce emissions mean businesses need to understand not only how much energy they use, but how and when they use it.
For fleet operators, this could mean considering how depot charging interacts with the wider demands of a building or site, whether onsite renewable generation can support charging requirements, or whether battery storage and flexible energy use can help improve resilience.
These challenges sit at the heart of many of the discussions taking place at emex.
Visitors can also participate in roundtables and networking sessions, offering opportunities to exchange ideas directly with peers, experts and solution providers.

A wider view of the road to net zero
emex offers a chance to view fleet decarbonisation within the bigger energy picture.
Whether you are already operating electric vehicles, planning the next stage of fleet electrification, considering charging infrastructure or developing a broader sustainability strategy, the event provides access to the technologies, expertise and practical ideas helping organisations make the transition.
With transport, buildings and operations becoming increasingly connected through electricity, understanding that wider energy landscape will be essential.
Join emex 2026 at Excel London on 25–26 November and discover the ideas, technologies and connections that could help power the next stage of your organisation’s transition.
