Solar power generation stands out as a sub-sector with the most claims (38% of overall cases). More than a half of all investment disputes under the Treaty have been brought by small or medium enterprises (55%).
Information about the claims has been compiled on the basis of public sources. The Secretariat welcomes any additional information or clarification on specific cases at legalaffairs@encharter.org.
