The Formation of Energy Law as a Discipline That Integrates the Principle of Energy Justice

Justice and energy are undoubtedly a combination of the highest importance. It touches the most important values and foundations of society. It also brings together important elements such as energy and climate policy, regulation and principles of energy law. The transition requires overarching principles that are valid and applicable to all energy sources, hence the importance of identifying energy justice as a principle, its constituent elements and its legal, technical and economic implications. Energy justice, in turn, requires that energy law considers the entire supply chain; the impacts and projections, from the extraction or use of raw materials to infrastructure development, transformation and provision of economic general services of general interest.
