Energy Disputes Arbitration Center

About us

The Energy Disputes Arbitration Center (EDAC), headquartered in Ankara, Turkey, is an independent and impartial arbitration centre established by the Energy Law Research Institute. Founded with the belief that energy disputes can be resolved more effectively by an institution specialised in this field, EDAC is the first and only sectoral arbitration centre focused on energy disputes and aims to become an international forum for the resolution of these disputes.

EDAC consists of the Secretariat, the National Board, the International Board, Consultants and Representatives. With a view to promoting diversity, EDAC has brought together prominent figures from the energy sector from different regions in its International Board. By establishing a separate unit for each region under the Secretariat, a perspective has been adopted that takes into account the dynamics of that region and reflects those dynamics in the management of the dispute settlement process. EDAC also has regional representations in Africa and the MENA region, and country representations in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, Pakistan, Kenya and Rwanda.
