Why arbitration is suited to energy disputes ⚡ Energy and renewable transition projects are at the heart of the global economy and invariably pose complex technical challenges with high stakes and little or no room for error. From resource extraction and renewable power generation to energy trading, energy projects can be commercially, environmentally and politically sensitive – particularly where they cross borders or involve the participation of states. The management of risk associated with energy projects is therefore crucial – and arbitration, as a dispute settlement mechanism, is well suited for the management of any conflict that may arise in their development and life cycle.
