ABOUT HUGO LIDBETTER

I am a Partner in Osborne Clarke\'s Energy and Energy Transition team, with a particular focus on policy and legal issues relating to decarbonisation and low carbon energy. I am interested in all aspects of the Energy Transition and recently authored Globe Law and Business\'s \"Decarbonising Energy: The Pathway to Net Zero\".I advise international and domestic clients on project development work in the energy sector: including nuclear, thermal, renewable and emergent technologies (hydrogen, LDES, CCS). The majority of my work focusses on the regulatory and commercial aspects of the energy market, including asset optimisation, revenue support schemes and trading strategies (PPAs etc). Prior to returning to private practice I was deputy GC of EDF Energy\'s Generation business, and was also Company Secretary and Head of Legal of its Power division. My career to date has spanned both in-house and private practice, so I have broad experience of the issues facing the electricity industry and the stakeholders in it. With three young(ish) children and a hyperactive golden retriever, I am equally passionate about caffeinating energy as I am decarbonising it!
