Energy & Natural Resources
Türkiye, in the past two decades ranks second to China in the increase in electricity and natural gas demand in the world. Moreover, during this period of time, Turkey has the fastest growing energy demand compared to other Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. Located in a region where 60% of the world’s oil and natural gas reserves exist, Türkiye is one of the biggest natural gas and electricity markets. Besides, international supplier firms play an important role in Turkish energy market due to Türkiye’s considerable import dependency to meet its energy demand.
In this regard, disputes in the energy and natural resources sectors are at the heart of international arbitration. With the increasing number of arbitrations in the international energy sector than in any other sector, the highest valued awards in the history of arbitration come from energy-related arbitrations. Energy disputes often involve complex and controversial issues relating to security, sovereignty, and public welfare.
