Energy Justice and Energy Law—An Approach to the Differences Between Both Concepts

This chapter contains a brief set of reflections on the relationship between energy law and energy justice. There is the need to move towards a new energy system. This need is based on evident exigencies of energy justice. Justice is not only a driver for transition, but also an ideal future situation whereby justice rules the relation between the various agents of the energy system. In that context, law should not be an obstacle to the transition, but rather a useful instrument. This means that the energy transition needs a new law, which reflects the moral content of energy justice.
