Wired for tomorrow: Major event to tackle the key electrical installation challenges of the future.
Consumer safety charity Electrical Safety First is pleased to announce that Electrical Installation Live, its dedicated electrical installation event, is returning for a third year.
The half-day afternoon event will take place on Tuesday 28 April 2026 at the Institution of Engineering and Technology, Savoy Place, London.
Launched in 2024, Electrical Installation Live brings together experts from across the electrical sector to explore the key trends shaping the future of electrical installation.
The theme for this year’s event, ‘Wired FΩR Tomorrow’, will examine how the industry can keep pace as technologies evolve, regulations strengthen and standards adapt.
The event will feature a programme of engaging presentations, panel discussions and fireside chats. It will include a session on latest changes to BS 7671, focusing on the new battery requirements introduced in BS 7671:2018+A4:2026, providing insight into what has changed, why those changes were necessary, how they were developed and how they should be applied by industry.
Another session will explore the practical realities of integrating low-carbon technologies into UK electrical installations, examining the challenges, opportunities and considerations to support installers as part of the transition to net zero.
The speaker line-up includes experts from the Institution of Engineering and Technology and British Standards Institution, alongside leading trade bodies including NICEIC, NAPIT, ECA, EDA, EIC and BEAMA, as well as other organisations from across the sector.
Electrical Installation Live will bring together a broad range of industry stakeholders, including manufacturers, wholesalers, awarding organisations, educators, electrical contractors, government representatives, insurers, housing associations, trade associations, certification bodies and fire and rescue services.
Luke Osborne, Technical Director at Electrical Safety First, said: “It is both exciting and timely for the charity to be hosting this industry event once again. With sessions exploring upcoming changes to wiring regulations and the practical realities of integrating low-carbon technologies into electrical installations, Electrical Installation Live will provide installers and wider industry stakeholders with the insight they need to prepare for what’s next and ensure installations remain safe, compliant and fit for the future.”
