The European energy market is faced with challenges. Changes in prices and regulations present both significant opportunities and considerable risks.
FORT has dedicated legal professionals with know-how in energy law (electricity, gas, biomass, and other renewables) for the Baltics. We guide clients through the intricacies of this rapidly changing environment. FORT helps stay compliant, and obtains licenses and permits, amongst many other services.
Emerging Challenges and Opportunities in the Energy & Utilities Sector
As the European energy market continues to transform, businesses must stay ahead of the curve to capitalise on new opportunities and mitigate potential risks. Key challenges and opportunities include:
