BLIX Consultancy has opened a branch office in Taipei, Taiwan, to target the offshore wind business in the Asia Pacific region. The new office is located at the centre of Taipei and will be the base for Maarten Timmerman and Willemijn van der Werf.

Maarten Timmerman is one of the founders of BLIX Consultancy in the Netherlands and is the newly appointed Director BLIX Asia. He is currently working as the Balance of Plant package manager for the 1044 MW Hai Long offshore wind energy farm in Taiwan. Due to upcoming new assignments in South Korea, Japan and Taiwan, Willemijn van der Werf has been appointed Director Business Development BLIX Asia. The office opened 11th March, 2020.

The consultancy firm started in Utrecht, The Netherlands, in 2009 and supports onshore and offshore wind energy projects. European and US based projects are coordinated from the Netherlands by founder and Managing Director Albert van der Hem, who will be responsible for the onshore wind, solar and strategy portfolio. Roeland Steenhuis has been newly appointed as Managing Director with responsibility for the offshore wind energy portfolio worldwide.

“Since I have been working for over two years from Taipei now Taiwan is well-known to me, just as the Asian region is. Opening an office here is ideal to be closer to our clients and meet them in a professional setting,” said Maarten Timmerman.

“Bringing down LCoE has the main focus in all energy projects and thus in our line of work. We have an advantage in being from the Netherlands, having over 10 years of experience in onshore and offshore wind energy and being the proud pioneers in helping develop the offshore wind concession tenders for the Netherlands government. We know everything there is to know on site investigations, their impact on the bids and engineering. During designing and developing we are experts on the balance of plant, electricity grid, wind turbine generators, their life cycle, whether bottom-fixed or floating,” said Roeland Steenhuis.

Albert van der Hem stated: “if Asian governments or developers want to know more on market opportunities or grid connectivity, we perform LCoE and supply chain analyses, provide strategic market studies, perform due diligences and validations, provide offshore wind courses, and organise processes to engage the right stakeholders.”
