Reviews and Awards

"This book is of current relevance to both legal academics and practitioners alike, especially legal researchers focusing on EU energy law and policy, and lawyers involved in interpreting EU energy law and regulation. The energy policy makers at the EU level, also, cannot overlook the informative importance of this book, which is necessary to inform their decision-making process. Certainly, it is an important contribution to the body of knowledge in energy markets and quintessentially, the regulation of those markets to achieve policy goals." - Dayann Obeng-Darko, UEF Law School (International Energy Law Review, 2017)
