Gronemann, Martin eng 2022-06-29 electronic resource text/html ddc:342 BITs Energy Charter Treaty ICSID Investment Arbitration Investor-State Dispute Settlement Verfassungsblog Verfassungsblog--2366-7044 CC BY-SA 4.0 An Award rendered on 16 June 2022 by a Stockholm-seated Arbitral Tribunal unleashed a foreshadowed earthquake regarding intra-EU investment protection disputes. The Tribunal declined jurisdiction based on the intra-EU nature of the dispute, which arose after two Danish companies had invested in Spanish photovoltaic power plants. The Award rendered under the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) and the arbitration rules of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC) marks the first time an arbitral tribunal has denied its jurisdiction (ratione voluntatis) because of the intra-EU objection raised by the Respondent.
