With the transition to more sustainable energy sources and the need to address climate change, the energy sector faces significant challenges. In addition, evolving public policies and fluctuations in energy resource prices add additional layers of complexity. In this scenario, qualified advice becomes essential to anticipate and respond to regulatory changes, take advantage of emerging opportunities and ensure the long-term sustainability of operations in a sector that is undoubtedly positioned to be one of the most crucial and transformative in the coming years.
