Witteveen+Bos is the creative, reliable and agile guide in analysing and tackling today’s energy issues. Our approach is based on three core values:

1. Understanding of the system
2. Vision
3. Practical applicability

Our energy-related services include:

• Feasibility studies
• ESOS: energy system & optimisation studies
• Smart energy hubs and energy visions
• Tooling

Driven by reduction targets, new energy system configurations are needed. A factual and transparent analysis of the technical and financial feasibility is essential to make an informed and responsible selection of appropriate configurations.

Witteveen+Bos has since provided such analyses for several clients, which includes bringing in specific expertise from other engineering disciplines within the organisation. If the issue demands it, we also engage experts from outside our organisation through our comprehensive network of (collaboration) partners. This approach allows us to oversee the total energy system in our analyses and advice.

What are the direct and indirect consequences of changes to energy systems? To provide insight into the impact of sustainability programmes, we help provide an understanding of the system and clarify (the implications of) choices in a clear and simple manner. Our experts take a data-driven approach to this and use open source models and (web) tools to ensure our analysis are based on facts while also being transparent and traceable.

Grid congestion can cause the construction, further development and sustainability of, for instance, business parks and residential areas to stagnate or even stall. At the same time, RES (Regional Energy Strategies) regions, municipalities, business parks and other initiatives often face a considerable sustainability challenge to which they are committed. This requires a long-term vision that offers the parties prospects for action.

Witteveen+Bos can support all parties in the chain in drawing up an energy vision that shows how targets can be achieved over time. Or concrete developments of, for instance, an energy hub project, that allow energy consumers and producers to coordinate the generation, transport, storage, conversion and consumption with each other. In such a development, our experts contribute with the technological knowledge that parties can rely on together with a process approach that actually brings parties together.

The (future) energy system is complex, with various uncertainties about how the system will evolve. Tools and models can help make this complexity manageable and reduce the number of uncertainties. Based on predictive tools and models, the parties can still develop their measures in this complexity and uncertainty and make informed decisions on the no-regrets and critical development pathway.

Witteveen+Bos has state-of-the-art modelling and programming knowledge to build such tools. Tools that have been used and tested in practice (by us). Clients who specifically want to use our digital expertise can opt for tailor-made solutions by our experienced in-house specialists in client experiences and software development.
