From the appearance and publication of the seven principles of energy law in the now seminal article, “A treatise for energy law”, it would seem that the international focus no longer revolves around the question of what constitutes energy law, but rather what methodological tools we have to harmonise energy law frameworks. Today the energy objectives are global: reduction of the CO2 emissions, energy security, cross-border connections, protection of the ecosystem. Energy law must no longer focus on consolidating its academic identity, but it must use itself, its comparative nature and analysis to standardise the regulation of the sector to make advances. States which are less virtuous in terms of energy transition must be inspired by the new regulations of those countries that, on the other hand, support and run the transition with greater impetus.

Energy law must make good use of comparative science to create that universal law to which Immanuel Kant also alluded38. A law that enunciates universal principles whereby the free use of arbitrariness co-exists with the freedom of each one. All the changes that have taken place since 2017 in the energy sector (when the original principles of energy law article was written) and the health crisis that has hit the world in 2020 will mark a step forward for this academic discipline. A sector at the heart of the world’s economies and on which the future and well-being of humanity depends needs considerable and increased input from scholars and practitioners. Therefore, the new objective will be to use the principles of energy law as a guide and compass to achieve the energy transition and in a boarder way, a just transition to a low-carbon economy. Policy makers, regulators, universities must spread the use of energy law culture through energy education. It is only through understanding the issues and dynamics of this sector that the next generation can embrace its relevance in trying to make a change to this world.
