What this session will cover

Our panel of lawyers, experts and industry professionals will explore key drivers of disputes on renewable energy projects, the role of arbitration including some practical tips for understanding the strength of your claim and managing proceedings efficiently.

In this session we will cover:

the key drivers of commercial disputes on traditional renewable energy projects – technology failures, under-performance, delay and cost increases;
the types of claims likely to arise on emerging renewables projects – including hydrogen disputes, disputes arising out of the repowering of ageing renewables infrastructure and the enhancement of fossil-fuel fired and/or traditional renewable energy sources to incorporate battery storage and carbon capture technology;
the potential sources of investment treaty disputes in the renewables sector and how to maximise public international law protection; Practical tips and tricks for ensuring cost-effectiveness and efficiency in related arbitration proceedings; and
the practical questions that you should be asking yourself to understand if you have a good claim and whether you should pursue a formal dispute or settle amicably.
