Biennial Conference of the Section on Energy, Environment, Natural Resources and Infrastructure Law (SEERIL)
18 May - 20 May 2026
Session information
Description
Demand for power is increasing in a world which is becoming more and more dependent on electricity for communication, transport, the transformation of old industries and the development and use of new technologies. At the same time geopolitical tensions and competition between companies for the control of power resources, as well as the dependency on large tech and other companies to manage power resources expose the vulnerability of power production, storage, transmission facilities and systems to physical, cyber and other technical threats which may be disruptive to the business and society at large. The session will explore these risks and challenges and how they can be mitigated and handled from a legal and regulatory perspective.
