The DEVOSO blog offers energy law insights for the people who make decisions in a company. We write for owners, CEOs, CFOs and in-house counsel at generators, traders, suppliers, industrial consumers, storage operators and aggregators. Therefore, each article answers a practical question: what should the business do?
Topics our energy law insights cover
- Regulation. Applying market rules, licence conditions and NEURC decisions.
- Disputes. Case law reviews on imbalances, settlements and the feed-in tariff.
- Tax. Tax audits, blocked VAT invoices and accounting specifics in the power market.
- Competition. AMCU clearance, concerted practices and compliance for traders and suppliers.
- Renewables and storage. PPAs, asset status and transactions involving energy assets.
- Intellectual property. Protecting brands and trading or metering software.
How an article differs from a news item
A news item records a change. An article, by contrast, explains how to work with it. For example, we walk through a typical situation, highlight the risks and suggest a course of action. In addition, we point out which documents you should review in your company.
How we write
We refer only to laws in force and to real decisions. Furthermore, we do not invent cases or promise outcomes. As a result, our energy law insights rest on verified facts and an honest view of risk.
Energy law insights for different roles
People in the same company read one change in different ways. That is why we structure articles so everyone finds their part quickly.
For owners and CEOs
Each article opens with a short summary of the issue and its business impact. As a result, you see at once whether a management decision is needed.
For CFOs
We describe the effect on settlements, tax and financial risk separately. For example, how a change in market rules may affect cash flow.
For in-house counsel
For company lawyers we provide links to the rules, decisions and case law. In addition, we flag which contract clauses deserve a second look.
The legal framework behind our energy law insights
For renewable generators, the key statute is the Law of Ukraine “On Alternative Energy Sources”. It governs the feed-in tariff, guarantees of origin and other renewable matters. We also follow the electricity market law, the Tax Code and the procedural codes closely.
How to use these energy law insights
Start with articles on your topic. Then check your contracts and procedures against our checklist. If you need to calculate something, try our legal calculators. Keep in mind, though, that an article gives the general picture, not an opinion on your case.
When to speak to a lawyer
- you have received a demand, an inspection report or a claim;
- you need a specific contract reviewed;
- the deadline to respond or appeal is running out.
