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.
