Global Energy & Infrastructure Legal Outlook 2024

2024 is set to be another exciting year for energy & infrastructure markets. In the light of the global push to transition to clean energy, the sector is a key focus for governments, business and all of us in our day to day lives. 

The pace of change is great. First-of-a-kind clean energy technologies, rafts of new and evolving government policy, legislation, regulation and guidance, development of new energy markets, the ever-expanding definition of infrastructure and access to novel sources of funds for major energy & infrastructure projects all provide both challenges and opportunities.

Government support for the newer low-carbon technologies remains crucial across the globe, particularly as markets for green and blue hydrogen, alternative fuels and carbon capture and storage seek to establish and grow. The more established renewables, such as wind and solar, continue to face cost and supply chain challenges but ultimately offer a relatively low-risk and bankable option which continues to pique the interest of more flexible infrastructure funds.

To make the most of the significant opportunities in the sector, sponsors, investors and lenders will need to be agile and well-supported to successfully navigate the increasingly complex and ever-moving legal and risk landscape.
