Energy & Infrastructure Regulatory

Energy and Infrastructure activities are carried out in highly regulated environments. Regulations may vary from tender criteria or zoning and permitting requirements to sector specific regulations on amongst others tariffs, quality of services and technical conditions. On the one hand, the magnitude and intensity of the applicable rules and regulations may at times feel overwhelming and be a barrier for, or slow down, the roll-out of initiatives and the development of new projects. On the other hand, a good understanding of the regulatory framework allows you to shape your position in transactions and may give you an edge in competitive situations.

We can help you to better understand the specific Energy & Infrastructure rules and regulations and to interpret and translate these into what is relevant for your project or transaction.

Due to the short lines within our Energy & Infrastructure practice, our regulatory attorneys will, if and when required, instantly get in touch with other attorneys, notaries and tax advisers in the required area of expertise. Find out more about our Energy & Infrastructure related services.

More and more integrated Energy & Infrastructure projects, related litigation and policy changes will require increasingly detailed and cross-sectional advice.

In energy litigation, an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the sector and its specific regulations, are pivotal for a meaningful representation.
Countries are more and more using taxes to steer companies towards the energy transition, and this is no different in our home markets.
The Energy & Infrastructure sector is always in flux. In the past years we have seen a rapid development of renewable energy and decarbonisation projects in Belgium and the Netherlands.
