Energy Related Arbitration Practitioners
Energy Related Arbitration Practitioners
Energy Related Arbitration Practitioners (ENERAP) is a worldwide forum that aims to promote the development of arbitration through the study of the characteristics, complexities and challenges involved in commercial and investment arbitration proceedings related to the energy sector.
Every society requires energy consumption for its development. In the past decades, States have set goals to address the latent need to mitigate global warming. To achieve these goals, States have initiated an energy transition focused on the implementation of energy models with lower net carbon emissions. This new model has led, on some occasions, to the premature exit from the market of some energy projects associated with high greenhouse gas emissions and, in turn, has encouraged investment in alternative and less polluting energy projects. This, has directly or indirectly led to an increase of arbitral proceedings.
ENERAP aims to create an inter-jurisdictional forum to analyze the particularities of energy disputes that could be solved through commercial or investment arbitration. To achieve such goal, we aim to bring together all the different players of the arbitration field: state representatives; in-house counsels; economic, financial & technical experts; arbitration centres; commercial arbitration practitioners; ISDS practitioners; and energy law lawyers.
We organize a wide range of educational and networking events to create a forum where we can analyze and discuss past, present and future disputes that arise from energy projects.
ENERAP main objectives can be summarized as follows:
