For 1.4 billion euros in damages, the German energy group RWE has sued the Netherlands for its coal phase-out by 2030.

This is another reason why the Treaty should be modernised. In our latest podcast episode, we talk about the reform negotiations that ended in Brussels at the end of June and how the Energy Charter Treaty is now proceeding.
