We are delighted to
introduce the 14th edition of Global Legal Insights – Energy,
an annual guide that has become a trusted reference point for general counsel,
financial institutions, investors, government agencies and private
practitioners navigating an increasingly complex global energy market. This year’s volume brings together leading
experts from 13 key jurisdictions, offering clear, practice-oriented insight
into how policy, regulation and commercial structures are evolving across the
energy value chain.
Over the past year,
energy has remained at the centre of macroeconomic strategy and geopolitical
competition, even as familiar fault lines and regional conflicts continue to
influence commodity markets, investment flows and security-of-supply planning. At the same time, governments and regulators
have pressed ahead with reforms aimed at accelerating project development,
upgrading grids and interconnection, and crowding in private capital to meet
ambitious transition and security objectives.
A defining theme for 2025
that will continue in 2026 is the convergence of digital and physical
infrastructure against a backdrop of increasingly tight power systems. Rapid growth in artificial intelligence and
cloud computing is reshaping the demand profile for electricity and driving a
new wave of long-term partnerships between utilities, independent power
producers and hyperscale data centre operators.
In several key markets, particularly in the United States, available
transmission capacity and interconnection queues have become binding
constraints, forcing market participants to rethink siting, timing and
technology choices as they confront the reality that “easy power” is largely
spoken for.
In this context, natural
gas and nuclear power have re-emerged as critical anchors of reliability and
system adequacy. Gas-fired generation is
being integrated directly into data centre and industrial loads through behind-the-meter
solutions, dedicated pipelines and highly structured offtake arrangements
designed to secure firm capacity in constrained regions. In parallel, policymakers are revisiting the
role of existing nuclear fleets and exploring new nuclear technologies as
sources of 24/7, low-carbon power that can support both electrification and the
rapidly growing baseload requirements of AI and cloud infrastructure. By contrast, while hydrogen and carbon
capture remain central to long-term decarbonisation strategies, most
jurisdictions, and especially the United States, are still in the early stages
of turning these concepts into fully bankable, large-scale projects.
The energy transition
itself continues, but with greater emphasis on execution risk, system adequacy
and cost. Renewables have reached record
levels of penetration in many jurisdictions, yet the combination of policy
concerns, land-use constraints, permitting bottlenecks, grid congestion and
rising equipment costs has complicated the next wave of build-out. Legal structuring frameworks are evolving to
address these frictions – from streamlined approvals and capacity market
reforms to new models for sharing network upgrade costs; but the pace and
policy mix differ significantly by jurisdiction, creating both risk and
opportunity for cross-border investors.
This edition has been
curated to help decisionmakers connect these global themes to concrete legal
and transactional realities. Each
chapter provides a jurisdiction-specific view on market structure, recent
legislative and regulatory developments, key court or regulatory decisions and
the pipeline of proposed reforms, with a focus on what matters for deals,
disputes and strategic planning. Contributors
have been selected for their deep local expertise and their ability to
translate national developments into insights that are relevant for cross-border
counterparties and global portfolios.
Serving as Contributing Editor
for this edition, and in the role of Global Co-Chair of Energy at Baker Botts
LLP, brings both privilege and responsibility at a time when these domains are
converging at unprecedented speed. Drawing
on experience advising clients at the intersection of power markets, large-scale
infrastructure and AI-driven demand growth, the aim has been to frame the
global context, highlight the issues that sophisticated market participants are
watching most closely – from power scarcity, nuclear and gas-backed reliability
to the redesign of long-term contracts around data centre loads – and assemble
a resource that supports both day-to-day decision-making and longer-term
strategic positioning, and to support clients and counterparties navigating
this new era of energy, infrastructure and AI-driven growth.
This guide is offered as
a practical tool for those shaping, financing and executing the next phase of
the global energy system and the build-out of AI-era infrastructure. It is hoped that the perspectives collected
here will support more informed decisions, stronger partnerships and more
resilient, sustainable energy systems in the years ahead.
