Energy & Infrastructure Legal Outlook 2025

We have published our Energy & Infrastructure Legal Outlook 2025.

With the transition to clean energy well underway and energy a critical factor in geopolitics, the regulatory landscape for low carbon energy continues to evolve at pace.

Governments recognise that energy demand will increase significantly in both the short and medium term due to electrification of transport and industry, the build out of data centres and increasing global temperatures. Globally, government policies, regulations and incentives are, therefore, aimed at increasing investment in a range of low carbon energy projects. Policy and regulation is also driving fossil fuel investment in climate mitigation technologies. 

This has already fuelled a big shift towards clean energy spending in recent times but much more investment is needed to get to net zero. Challenges in unlocking even more private capital for clean energy projects and technology vary to some extent between sectors but supply chain pressures, demand risk, immature markets and evolving policy frameworks remain in the spotlight.

Our Energy & Infrastructure Legal Outlook 2025 explores these key themes and highlights what to look out for in the year ahead.
