Energy

Energy is what makes Europe tick. The European Union has long recognised that it is essential for a brighter Europe to address the major energy challenges facing the world today, such as climate change, our increasing dependence on fossil fuels, the strain on energy resources and access for all users to affordable, secure energy. The Maltese regulatory framework in the field of energy law is majorly influenced by European Union legislation on the matter which is why the EU & Regulatory Law Department within Fenech & Fenech Advocates assists the firm’s energy experts to provide its clients with holistic, integrated and all-encompassing advice on both a local and European level.

The EU is putting in place an ambitious energy policy – covering the full range of energy sources from fossil fuels (oil, gas and coal) to nuclear energy and renewable energy (solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, hydro-electric and tidal) – in a bid to spark a new industrial revolution that will deliver a low-energy economy, whilst making the energy we do consume more secure, competitive and sustainable.
