Complex project development, PPA and BESS consultancy in the Dutch energy market — turning complex projects and situations into bankable contracts and tangible results.
I help developers, energy suppliers and large offtakers structure sustainable solutions that create value over the full lifecycle of the asset. I'm familiar with solar, BESS, wind, grid access, complex hybrid projects and energy hubs.
My work spans interim team leadership for energy development teams, end-to-end project development and project management for wind, solar and BESS assets, everything around PPAs or market access for renewables and BESS and origination across the European energy landscape. I bring commercial depth, analytic rigour and a wide network of Dutch and European energy experts. I thrive in complex situations, where I quickly establish a path forward based on a holistic strategy.

Commercial deal sourcing, relationship building and origination strategy for developers, suppliers and large industrial offtakers across the European energy landscape.
"Menno has helped us out a lot on ppa risk analysis, ppa implementation and setting up an settlement validation mechanism. His commercial knowledge on the market and ppa's, combined with his know-how of the various sides of a project was very much appreciated and made him a trustworthy and competent asset within the team. I'd recommend him to any project requiring independent advice or as an extra set of hands to help out on implementations."

"I worked with Menno on the Blauwwind project. He analyzed and managed all risks and details in the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) by implementing clear and complete operational procedures. Based on his experience, facts and content, he implemented a best-for-project strategy to secure an optimal commercial and operational result in a multi-stakeholder landscape. I can definitely recommend him."
