The Energy and Natural Resources (“E&NR”) sector is undergoing a period of radical change in the UK. The government has confirmed that it will legislate to adopt a net zero carbon target for 2050 and businesses expect the target to spur investment in new energy technologies. With the E&NR sector increasingly attracting long-term investors in new technologies and innovative financing products (for example green bonds and carbon offset credits), we expect to see the emergence of disputes which reflect this changing landscape and sector headwinds.
