Energy and Emissions Trading Law

In the energy and emissions trading sector, complexity and risks are steadily increasing. The German and EU legal framework of EU-ETS, ETS2 and the nEHS is being continuously tightened, particularly with regard to MRV, allocation, registry accounts and surrender deadlines. Added to this are transaction reporting obligations and the publication of inside information – also for wholesale energy products under REMIT. There are also numerous interfaces with capital markets law – ranging from MiFID/MiFIR issues to clearing and settlement. Failure to comply with compliance, surrender, reporting or disclosure obligations may result in supervisory or even criminal sanctions.
