In 2020, more than 15% of ICC’s caseload was represented by energy disputes.
42% of ICSID arbitrations relate to oil, gas, mining, electric power, and other energy claims.
The number of Energy Charter Treaty cases continues to grow, from 2 in 2001 to a total of 145 in 2021, most of them concerning renewable energy claims.
The panels will address topics related to energy projects and investment disputes, with focus on infrastructure and energy projects; arbitration as a suitable dispute resolution mechanism for energy disputes; regional approaches
to energy projects and dispute settlement, with focus
on the EU energy market; the Energy Charter Treaty and
its modernization process etc.
This is a word of many meanings,
and while we will focus the discussion
on the tangible and most relevant
one for dispute resolution,
i.e. from conventional, fossil based energy
to renewable energy, we invite our participants
to gather and use their ‘energy’ for informative discussions, lively sessions, social gatherings
and initiatives for a better future.
The keyword of the 2022 edition of BARD is
energy
