Abstract

This thesis explores the evolving transformation of the global energy mix and its legal, technical, and regulatory implications for the construction industry. As nations accelerate the shift from fossil fuels to renewable sources in response to climate imperatives and international environmental commitments, the construction sector emerges as a key driver in delivering complex, large-scale energy infrastructure. However, this transition introduces significant challenges, including intricate contractual frameworks, regulatory adaptation, technological complexity, multi stakeholder coordination, and heightened social considerations. Within this shifting landscape, arbitration is not merely a dispute resolution option but a central legal mechanism that supports project continuity, cross-border enforceability, and procedural efficiency. Through a multidisciplinary analysis of legal instruments, policy frameworks, and practical case examples, the present thesis argues that arbitration plays a foundational role in ensuring that renewable infrastructure projects are executed effectively, lawfully, and in alignment with the demands of a global, low-carbon energy future.
