This book investigates the role of law in enabling and addressing the barriers to the development of off-grid renewable electricity (OGRE).

The limited development of OGRE is ascribed to a host of social, economic, and legal barriers, including the problem of initial capital costs, existing subsidies for conventional electricity, and lack of technological and institutional capacity. Through the analyses of selected case studies from Africa, Asia, Europe and North and South America, this book discusses the typical barriers to the development of OGRE from a global perspective and examines the role of the law in addressing them. Drawing together the lessons learnt from the case studies, this book offers robust recommendations on how the development of OGRE will support the goal of achieving universal access to low carbon, reliable, and sustainable electricity globally.

This volume will be of great interest to students, scholars, policy makers, investors, and practitioners in the fields of energy law and policy, climate change, and renewable energy development.

This book examines the future of petroleum exploration and production in the Middle East and Africa within the context of the global transition to alternative energy sources.

The Middle Eastern and African countries possess abundant petroleum resources, serving as significant source of foreign exchange and domestic energy supply. However, the growing global call for net zero emissions, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and addressing climate change, presents major challenges for countries in these regions. Due to their heavy reliance on oil and gas, Middle Eastern and African countries find themselves at a critical juncture, with the likelihood of serious negative economic and social impacts. This necessitates the implementation of domestic legal measures and the adoption of a stance in international discussions on net zero emissions. This book analyses the legal issues and implications of the energy transition for petroleum exploration and production in the Middle East and Africa, as well as the need for domestic laws to be revisited and prepared for managing the challenges that may arise from decarbonisation.

The book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the field of energy law, climate law and energy geopolitics.
