Energy law

Chapter 44 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Energy Economics, 2025, pp 169-170 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Energy law refers to various disciplines, including law and politics, due to its relevance and link with government policies. For robust implementation of energy law policies, detailed regulation is needed as a safeguard against competition in the case of a natural monopoly – such as in the case of natural gas or electricity. Energy law also includes the assignment of rights and duties over the exploitation of energy resources and the requirement for sustainable energy. In the energy market, energy law depicts oil and gas, and natural resources, as well as notions such as the liberalisation processes and the privatisation of public energy companies. Various energy principles define energy law (e.g., security of supply, economic efficiency, accessibility to modern energy services). Energy law can also be defined as the collective body of existing legal norms or as research analysing the legal norms that govern the energy sector.
