Pozdrowienia z Warszawy! 🇵🇱 SCC Arbitration Institute was represented by Jake Lowther at the Solidarity in Arbitration and Mediation Days in Warsaw last week. This year's theme was "Shaping Horizons: Current Challenges and Innovations in Infrastructure, Construction and Energy in Central and Eastern Europe". Joining a panel discussing the topic of energy disputes, Jake's presentation considered the role of the SCC in facilitating the energy transition. Did you know? 💡 - Between 2020 and September 2024, 88 energy arbitrations were commenced at the SCC. - This year to date, the electricity sector represents 53% of the energy cases initiated at the SCC, with renewable energy and gas disputes following. - The most common nationalities of parties to energy disputes in the past two years are Swedish, Russian, German, Danish, and Estonian. 🗣 At the SCC, we know that "time is money". Energy projects are long-term investments, which need good working relationships. Disputes are an unwelcome distraction for the core business, and hold back investment. To facillitate international trade and investment, the SCC is working hard to develop and promote alternatives to arbitration and lititgation, such as SCC Express and mediation. By helping business to resolve problems at an early stage, the SCC aims to help keep things on track, and, crucially, on time, says Jake. 📚Interested to learn more?
