为了加速可再生能源产业的发展,多数国家都制定了相关激励措施以吸引跨国公司的投资。但是,随着政策的变化,相关的法律争端也随之产生。除了国际贸易争端以外,与可再生能源相关的投资争端也大量出现,其中以西班牙最为典型,所涉投资案件也最多。随着“一带一路”倡议的推进,我国投资者在海外可再生能源领域的投资会大幅增加。与此同时,我国能源领域对外开放的幅度正在加大,可再生能源领域的外资也会越来越多,但我国现有法律制度并不足以规范可再生能源的未来发展。本文分析西班牙相关法律政策变化及仲裁庭的裁决,以期对我国可再生能源法律政策的发展和完善,以及可再生能源领域的海外投资者保护提供启示,也为我国分析评估是否加入《能源宪章条约》提供借鉴。 |

Abstract: |
Each country and the international community as a whole are actively promoting the development of renewable energy with a view to addressing climate change, environmental pollution, and sustainable energy development. For this purpose, most countries have enacted relevant incentives to attract investment from multinational corporations. However, with changes to renewable energy support policies, some legal disputes have also arisen. In addition to international trade disputes, the number of investor-state disputes involving renewable energy has also increased substantially. Among them, Spain, as a typical example, has 35 cases in investor-state arbitration. Currently, China has become the world's largest energy consumer. With the advancement of the Belt and Road Initiative, China’s outward investments will increase dramatically in overseas renewable energy fields. At the same time, as China’s energy sector opens wider to the outside world, more and more foreign capital will be available in renewable energy. The legal system on renewable energy in China is not enough to regulate the new situation of the development of renewable energy. Based on examining the evolution of Spanish laws and policies on renewable energy and the awards of the arbitral tribunals, this article explores how to reform and improve China’s renewable energy legal system and to protect Chinese overseas investors in renewable energy field, and it also provides a reference for evaluation of whether to join the Energy Charter Treaty. |
