This paper examines the relationship between energy and administrative law, focusing in particular on
French and English institutional experiences. It is mainly devoted to the topic of citizens’ participation and
procedural simplification, and to the role of subjects who take a jurisdictional decision in the matter of
environment and energy. The question to which the essay intends to contribute concerns the two experiences
of France and the United Kingdom. And, in particular, if they contain models useful for a reflection
of legal scholars in the Italian experience, and for the possible circulation of normative and jurisprudential
formants, in an era that we define as an energy transition. From an administrative and judicial point
of view, can we rethink the role of independent authorities and administrative judges about decisions on
energy-environmental matters?
