The Road to Energy Justice as a Result of Interdisciplinary Cooperation in the Energy Policy Field

Summary/Abstract: This article pertains to the role of law in regulating the energy market. Justice and solidarity in this area require a debate that should not be fragmented but must, instead, take place in an interdisciplinary manner. The key question that arises relates to the role that the law should play in the area of energy transformation, and thus, whether it should only be a tool for the implementation of political plans and action strategies, or whether it should, in itself, stimulate or determine the transition framework, or be a regulator of transformation. The article tackles selected problems related to Demand Side Management (DSM), de-growth, energy poverty, Not In My Back Yard (NIMBY) initiatives and Contracts for Differences (CfD), in order to call for interdisciplinary research and cooperation in this context.
