About Energy Law
The energy sector is fast-paced and ever changing. Are you up-to-date with the latest changes in energy regulation and policy– and have a sense of what’s on the horizon?
Renewables
The legislated policy is to reach Net Zero by 2050. We have dedicated subtopics for legal teams – renewable electricity subsidies and embedded benefits, projects for solar, onshore wind, and offshore renewable projects.
Market regulation and licensing subtopics
With increasing political and regulatory focus on the electricity supply market, many larger legal teams are interested in this area. Our subtopics include GB electricity generation and storage regulation.
Key energy law developments
Keep up-to-date with market practice and advances in real-time. We have forward looking trackers of the expected dates of final decisions, and implementing measures for consultations across the British energy market.
