Abstract

The European Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) initiated by the European Union and signed 17 December 1994, addresses opportunities for investment in energy resource development by Western companies in Eastern Europe and Russia. The overall objective is the transfer of Western technology to the East, providing hard currency and economic security thereby encouraging development of democratic institutions. Basic provisions of the ECT are examined including environmental implications, national sovereignty and exceptions to national treatment, as well as outstanding issues and prospects for success.

The limits of global property rights: Quasi-Experimental evidence from the Energy Charter Treaty
2022, Energy Policy
The Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) is the primary international mechanism protecting the property rights of foreign energy investors. By giving firms the ability to sue host governments in neutral venues, the hope was that expropriation risks would reduce and thereby spur investment. Has the ECT lived up to these aims? We analyze how exogenous changes to the property rights provided to Russian firms under the Energy Charter Treaty impact political risk. We find no evidence that the increases or decreases to rights under the investment regime altered firm value. The results indicate that the ECT has limited effects on an investment climate, at least in the eyes of financial markets. The findings suggest that critics of the ECT are right to call for reforming the institution as it may be hampering a green energy transition without adequately providing the promised economic returns. More theoretically, the paper contributes to debates on the relationship between state power and international environmental institutions, and highlights the importance of offshore finance for altering business-government relations in the energy sector.
Tariff revisions and the impact of variability of solar irradiation on PV policy support: The case of Italy
2018, Energy Policy
Citation Excerpt :
Among the European countries where retroactive measures have been implemented, the Italian case is one of the most debated at international level. Indeed, the interventions of the Italian Government have been disputed by foreign investors in numerous arbitration proceedings for infringement of the Energy Charter Treaty (Axelrod, 1996; Mahalingam and Reiner, 2016; OECD/IEA, 2016). As of 1 January 2016, Italy has finally decided to withdraw from the Energy Charter Treaty.
The solar irradiation is one the most critical parameter to ensure the overall profitability of photovoltaic (PV) projects. During the period of the European solar boom, the PVGIS-3 radiation data have been largely used by policy makers in setting remuneration levels, as well as by project developers, banks and asset managers for professional assessment of the underlying financial return of the investment. High quality and more accurate data included in the updated PVGIS-CMSAF show that solar resources in Europe have been greatly underestimated by PVGIS-3. The present paper evaluates how reported changes in solar irradiation have affected both PV projects profitability and overall costs of subsidy for final consumers. By focusing on a large sample of Italian PV plants, our findings highlight that solar irradiation levels higher than those initially assumed have caused excessive rents and windfall profits for PV project developers thus potentially harming electricity users which are indirectly bearing the burden of the renewable energy sources (RES) incentives. In regulatory contexts suffering from information asymmetries between RES producers and regulatory agencies, support tariff set by public authorities should be periodically revised according to transparent procedures, whenever significant changes in long-term solar irradiation data occur.
Enlarging the EU's internal energy market: Why would third countries accept EU rule export?
2009, Energy Policy
Why would countries without a membership perspective seek integration into the EU's internal energy market? One major element of the EU's external energy policy is the export of EU energy norms and regulations to neighbourhood countries and beyond. A core legal instrument the EU uses in this context is the Energy Community Treaty (ECT). The ECT goes both geographically and regarding its depth significantly beyond neighbourhood or association policies, addressing potentially also countries in the ‘far neighbourhood’ and aiming at the creation of a Single Market for energy with these countries. While, however, EU candidate countries are obliged to adopt the “acquis” before accessing the EU and therefore comply to EU rules already before they enter the Club, I argue that countries with no or only a vague membership perspective – i.e. countries where the EU cannot apply the “conditionality” – approach (e.g., ENP countries)—aim at deeper integration with the EU because they are either eager to demonstrate their capability and potential to become part of the Club, they seek greater independence from a regional hegemon or they envisage significant economic gains as common norms, rules and standards are likely to increase economic exchange with the EU.
