It addresses the evolution of the concept of sustainable development at international level and the implications of sustainable development on international trade, as well as the emergence of the Sustainable Development Goals and specifically the interrelationship between SDG 7 and SDG 17 - partnerships for the goals, which considers the necessary engagement of both public and private actors towards Sustainable Development. Therefore, seeing energy is an important vector for Sustainable Development and taking into account the context of fragmentation of international law and of growing international standardization, the essay discusses the pursuit of international regulatory coherence and analyzes the legitimacy of international standards, focusing primarily in the following elements: engagement, transparency and accessibility. Examining the role of international standards particularly in renewable energy, the research addresses IEC procedures for the development of such standards, providing practical examples of technical committees and standards issued, with a view to analyze to what extent the greater legitimacy of these standards can contribute for the achievement of the SDG 7.
