Lighthouse Projects Bv

What Lighthouse Projects Bv does

Lighthouse Projects Bv is a Barendrecht-headquartered, founder-owned Dutch consulting and project management firm that supports renewable energy developers and investors across the full lifecycle of wind, solar, and battery storage projects, plus closed distribution systems (GDS). Founded on June 19, 2019 by Alex Brouwer and Erik Houtepen, the firm operates a six-service platform covering development (permitting, technical design), contracting (tender, drafting, negotiation), construction management (QA/QC, scheduling, HSE), financial advice (modeling, business cases, financing support), due diligence (technical/legal/financial/commercial), and redevelopment (lifetime extension, permit modification). Notable engagements include Windpark Zeewolde (321.5 MW, the Netherlands' largest onshore wind park), Windpark Krammer (102 MW citizen initiative), Windpark Maasvlakte II (119 MW), the 300 MWp Butimanu solar park in Romania, and large-scale battery projects such as BESS Mufasa (364 MW) and Vlissingen-Oost (60 MW / 131 MWh).

The firm's revenue model is professional services on a project-by-project basis: clients (typically enterprise renewable developers and infrastructure investors) engage Lighthouse for specific phases or end-to-end delivery, with work structured as interim management, project participation, or in-house assignments. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and reputation-driven, relying on a project portfolio website, LinkedIn presence, and direct contact by the founders; geographic reach is currently the Netherlands plus Romania. The team has grown from two founders to approximately 15 specialists as of mid-2024, with Matthijs Jansen joining the directie in January 2025. A sister company, Lighthouse Energy Support BV, was established in 2023 with Bastiaan van de Braak for technical inspections and quality controls. The company has realized more than 1,000 MW of sustainable energy projects since founding and supports over 200 wind turbines across various phases.

Lighthouse Projects serves three named customer segments: (1) renewable energy project developers needing guidance through permitting, contracting, financing, and construction; (2) investors in sustainable energy seeking independent supervision and quality assurance; and (3) agricultural/industrial landowners looking to optimize land use via co-located solar or battery installations. Marquee customers include Deltawind, Windpark Deil, Pure Energie, Windpark Krammer B.V., Windpark Zeewolde B.V., Pollux & Castor Projects, Lion Storage / Return Energy, Univé, and Eneco Wind BV. The company remains entirely founder-controlled with no disclosed external institutional investment or parent company.
