Context
This EU Energy Law & Policy workshop brings together individuals working in energy, including regulators,
policy makers, practicioners and academics, to discuss energy law and policy issues of cross-cutting interest.
This year’s workshop is hosted by our donor, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, at their Brussels Office.
The workshop is divided into four sessions. The first session explores whether energy market design can
ensure security of supply in electricity and gas markets. In the second session, we deal with the problem of
asset stranding due to changes in energy systems. The third session looks at antitrust damages in the energy
sector both from a legal and an economic perspective. The workshop closes with a session on the recent
developments in state aid control, and which focuses on the EU state aid inquiry into capacity mechanisms
as well as the Italian Mediaset case on recovery of aid.
The four sessions are complemented by a keynote speech by Maroš Šefčovič, Commission Vice-President for
Energy Union.
