Disputes & Expert Support

Energy disputes often involve a complex interaction between regulation, contractual obligations, market developments and technical infrastructure.

Ischia Consulting provides independent regulatory, economic and technical support to law firms, energy companies and infrastructure operators in disputes, arbitration proceedings and regulatory matters.

We analyse the factual and regulatory background of a dispute and assess the issues from an independent, evidence-based perspective.

Our work may include:

• interpretation of energy regulation and tariff frameworks; 
• analysis of network access and capacity arrangements; 
• reconstruction of regulatory and market developments; 
• assessment of transportation routes and commercial viability; 
• evaluation of the impact of tariff or regulatory changes; 
• review of technical, contractual and market documentation.

We have particular expertise in disputes involving:

• gas transportation and long-term capacity contracts; 
• network tariffs and cost-allocation methodologies; 
• entry-exit systems and cross-border market access; 
• capacity allocation and congestion-management mechanisms; 
• regulatory change and its commercial consequences; 
• energy infrastructure and security-of-supply issues. 

We work closely with counsel throughout the different stages of a matter, helping legal teams understand the regulatory, technical and economic context of the dispute.

Support may include:

• identification and assessment of key technical issues; 
• preparation of regulatory and technical memoranda; 
• review of pleadings, reports and opposing expert analyses; 
• development of evidence-based arguments; 
• preparation of expert reports, presentations and hearing materials; 
• support during interviews, meetings and hearings. 

Our objective is to transform complex regulatory and technical material into clear, structured and defensible conclusions.

We distinguish carefully between facts, assumptions and professional assessments, ensuring that our analysis can withstand detailed examination in contentious proceedings.
