About
Bosch & van Rijn

Ruud is a highly experienced senior advisor in renewable energy, specialising in wind energy. He has 20 years of experience in policy, planning and realisation of renewable energy technologies. He has completed complex renewable energy projects for ministries, project developers, multinationals, the World Bank and the EU. He always focuses on achieving the final goal.

Ruud studied Physical Geography in Utrecht and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University, USA.

Steven works on the technical aspects of wind energy such as noise, shadow flicker and
finance. He specialises in GIS analyses and has worked on several major policy studies for the
ministries of Economic Affairs and Infrastructure and the Environment.

Steven is responsible for WindStats.nl, the website concerning all the wind turbines and their
production throughout the Netherlands. To this end, he developed a method for calculating the
annual output of all existing wind turbines based on KNMI data.

Steven studied Physics and holds a Master’s in Energy Science from Utrecht University.

Wouter specialises in MER (environmental effects assessments) procedures, zoning plans,
integration plans, planning and spatial development. His field of expertise is permit
management: structured and plan-oriented work related to the submission of admissible
permit applications. He supervises permit procedures, working intensively with the competent
authorities, stakeholders and the initiator. His goal: to ensure that all necessary permits can be
obtained.

Wouter studied Political Science/Environmental Science in Nijmegen.

Hans is involved with the spatial and technical aspects of wind energy, such as GIS analyses, shadow flicker and external safety. He works on feasibility studies, environmental impact assessments and zoning and integration plans.

Hans studied Earth Sciences, holds a Master’s in Environment and Resource Management from the VU University Amsterdam and a Master’s in Wind Power Project Management from Uppsala University, Sweden.

Duco has more than 20 years of experience in communication, sustainability and renewable energy. He is engaged with strategic communication plans for wind energy policy and project development. He specialises in project communication, community and stakeholder involvement, campaigns and participation.

Duco studied Business and Management at the University of Twente and has a Master’s in International Environmental Policy from Utrecht University.

Lauran works on the spatial and planning aspects of wind energy. He is involved with the entire course of project planning. From setting up the Memorandum on Scope and Detailing (NRD) to the concretisation of various environmental sub-studies in the Environmental Impact Assessment (MER) and drawing up zoning and integration plans.

Lauran studied Spatial and Urban Planning at the University of Rotterdam and holds a Master’s in Renewable Urban Management from Malmö University, Sweden.

Robin specialises in the legal aspects of renewable energy projects. She took her degree on the subject of European smart grid standardisation from a legal perspective at the University of Amsterdam. She is engaged with policy studies and project management.

Robin studied Constitutional and Administrative Law in Maastricht and Utrecht in the Netherlands and in Seattle, Washington in the USA.

Martijn is specialized in the ecological aspects of renewable energy projects. He is project leader for solar and wind energy farms.

Marc is project leader and also specialized in the technical aspects of renewable energy, among which noise studies for environmental impact assessments, GIS-analyses and feasibility studies.

Elles is our Office Manager. She offers support in administration activities, human resource management and facility management. She unburdens the team so they can focus on their projects. With her experience in both profit and non-profit organizations Elles can act quickly and always has a solution ready.

Quinten is a landscape architect and specialized in the landscape related issues regarding renewable energy projects.

Martijn is a specialist in the technical and spatial aspects of renewable energy, among which yield, safety, spatial feasibility and financial feasibility.

Leon is specialized in the spatial and environmental aspects in the development of renewable energy, among which shadow flicker studies. He works on feasibility studies, environmental impact assessments and zoning plans.

Laurens is specialized in GIS and by doing so he charts the opportunities and obstructions for solar and wind initiatives. Furthermore, he works on noise studies for wind energy projects.
