The Global Energy Regulation Round Up is a quarterly report covering energy regulations worldwide. It is organized into three regions: North America, the European Union, and Asia. The report highlights policies and regulations related to energy, decarbonization, utilities, trade, and sustainability. It serves as a resource for information on current or upcoming energy regulations that could affect businesses. Governments use energy regulations to pursue a range of objectives, which can have both positive and negative effects on businesses. This installment of the report is for the first quarter of the year, from January 1st to March 31st, 2026.
Key Takeaways
- Environmental deregulation on the federal level was the biggest trend that emerged from the United States in Q1 of 2026.
