‘This book is absolutely critical reading for energy law academics and practitioners alike. It engages with the most significant debates in the energy sector, such as whether energy law is a separate discipline or what makes energy justice just – providing insightful analysis from some of the leading international energy law scholars in our sector today. I will be prescribing this as essential reading for my students, and my colleagues within the sector, and recommend that others do the same.’
