Abstract

Energy law is a specialized branch of law, with its own principles and rules, which we can define as the set of rules that regulates matters concerning electricity, hydrocarbons, energy sources, energy efficiency, among other issues, establishing rights and obligations for each of the activities carried out. Energy is important due to the multiple benefits it brings to the citizens quality of life, and the opportunities it offers to many professionals. Among the professionals to highlight within the branch of energy law, we can mention lawyers, who are a fundamental piece in the development of both legal and regulatory standards, in advising both public institutions and private sector agents, in carrying out procedures for the permits, concessions and other authorizations that are required for the development of the activities, and to present resources and actions for the benefit of the users. Lawyers are gaining importance within the energy sector, which is very complex and competitive, and as the years go by, other activities that represent new challenges are being developed. Energy law is based on administrative law, therefore, it is based on principles such as legality, due process, transparency, among others, however, it also has structural principles that are based on security of supply, coverage and accessibility, and socioeconomic and environmental sustainability.
