In today's episode, I have the honour to talk to president Egils Levits. Only to mention a few highlights of his career, president Levits was Judge at the European Court of Human Rights from 1995 to 2004, Judge at the European Court of Justice from 2004 to 2019 and President of the Republic of Latvia from 2019 to 2023. In this final episode of the first season of “The energy law podcast” we are zooming out again from the in-depth discussions of different parts of energy law, talking about the geopolitical changes after Russia`s invasion of Ukraine that also effected global and European energy markets. With President Levits, I am going to discuss the role of courts in transitions, also exploring the concept of judicial activism. Please enjoy this episode!

In today's episode, I am happy to welcome Zohra Bouhmedhel from EPEX Spot and Denny Wientzek from the European Energy Exchange AG. We are going to discuss the overlap of energy law and financial markets regulation. Energy law governs various aspects of energy production, distribution, and consumption, while financial markets regulation ensures transparency, stability, and fairness in financial transactions. Understanding this overlap is essential for policymakers, industry professionals, and investors alike to navigate the evolving energy landscape and foster sustainable and efficient energy markets. Let`s see what my two guests have to say about it.

In today's episode, I am thrilled to interview Prof. Dr. Dirk Buschle, Legal Counsel & Deputy Director at the Energy Community Secretariat. We will explore key insights of his work at an international organisation expanding the acquis communautaire of EU energy law as a legally binding framework to third countries. The Energy Community brings together the European Union and its neighbours, the so-called Contracting Parties. Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Georgia, Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia and Ukraine. Without further ado, let's move on to our discussion about energy law. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

In today's episode, I am thrilled to have Prof. Dr. Leigh Hancher, Professor of European Law at Tilburg University, together with her dog Kicky as my guest. We are going to talk about energy law as an area of law, long term contracts, contracts for difference, sustainability, and competition in energy markets. Energy law can be defined very narrowly, only focusing on energy sector specific regulations. It can also be defined rather broad, referring to all laws in their application on energy markets. It’s a field of law that is constantly evolving. With that, let's segue into our exploration of energy law. Enjoy.

In today's episode, I am thrilled to have Dr. Wolfgang Urbantschitsch, Executive Director of E-Control Austria, as our special guest. Amongst other topics, we will be exploring the role of national regulatory authorities in energy markets. According to the electricity market directive and the gas market directive, each Member State shall designate a single regulatory authority at national level. Further, Member States shall guarantee the independence of the regulatory authority and shall ensure that it exercises its powers impartially and transparently – key requirements that sometimes even challenge the Members States` constitutional framework. Lots of fun with this episode!
