ROCC

What ROCC does

ROCC B.V. is a Rotterdam-based independent advisory firm specializing in the Dutch energy transition. Founded in 2023, the firm operates with a team of approximately 11 staff — four partners and seven consultants — and does not develop or sell proprietary technology products. Instead, its offering is built around four core consulting services: the Flexscan (individual flexibility analysis for businesses facing grid congestion and high energy prices), Energiehubs (initiation, organizational structuring, financial modeling, and legal frameworking of collective energy hubs on business parks), Energiebewust beleid (energy-conscious policy advisory separating fact from fiction on grid congestion), and Energietransitie OV (advisory for public transport operators navigating electrification and grid constraints). The firm has codified proprietary methodologies including a congestion management standardization framework developed at Stedin and a low-voltage network prioritization framework (Prioriteringskader Laagspanning) for grid operators.

ROCC's go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct outreach, government tender participation, and referrals across a client base of Dutch national ministries, provincial and municipal governments, grid operators (Stedin, Liander), port authorities (North Sea Port, Port of Rotterdam, Port of Amsterdam, Port of Harlingen, Groningen Seaports), public transport authorities and operators (Vervoerregio Amsterdam, GVB, RET, ProRail), and enterprises (Amsterdam UMC, Equans, BOM, RVO). Revenue is generated entirely through project-based consulting engagements billed at custom rates; the firm's general terms provide for annual indexation and a 14-day payment term with 1% monthly default interest. Distribution is domestic only — Netherlands — and the firm leverages an ecosystem of implementation partners (Resourcefully, Firan, Dirkzwager, Hogeschool Saxion) and knowledge-program partners (TKI Urban Energy) to deliver multi-stakeholder programs.

Notable engagement outcomes include scaling Stedin's congestion management team from two to ten people, the incorporation of one of the Netherlands' first energy-hub cooperatives at Kempisch Bedrijvenpark (Hapert) in January 2025, formal adoption of a public-transport energy-infrastructure sharing policy by Vervoerregio Amsterdam in October 2024, and a multi-port electrification study for RVO covering all major Dutch seaports. The firm holds no patents, has no disclosed funding, and operates as an independent partnership with no parent company or institutional investors identified.
