New Energy Union Legal Challenges

01 March 2018
gas and electricity

This afternoon seminar examines the arising Energy Union legal challenges by looking at the most recent developments in energy law for both electricity and gas. It will open by considering the process of legislating the Clean Energy Package, exploring the challenges it poses and how the package may be delivered in reality.

This will include a discussion of the electricity market design. We will then turn to the latest issues surrounding the European gas market – discussing the definition of import pipelines, following the recent proposal to amend the Gas Directive and evaluate the idea of a gas market design.
