Theo Fens | PartnerTheo Fens

I was a co-founder of UCPartners in the Spring of 2005 together with Chris IJsbrandy and Rinke van de Rhee. In addition to being a partner at UCPartners and carrying out consultancy and interim management jobs for our clients, I am engaged in a part-time capacity as a Senior Research Fellow in the Economics of Infrastructures Section of the Technology, Policy and Management Faculty at Delft University of Technology. As such, I lecture and research energy markets, publish regularly about developments in the energy and utilities world, e.g. the continuous restructuring of energy markets, energy technology developments, institutional developments, and their impact on the mode of organisation and operation of energy companies. I hold a degree in electrical engineering and a PhD in experimental physics from the Faculty of Applied Physics of Delft University of Technology.

During the former 35 years of my professional career, I have held positions in electrical engineering, fundamental and applied electronics research at KPN Research, and in application software development for petroleum engineering, working as an Exploration and production petrophysicist at Shell International. I moved to the energy and utility team of Capgemini in 2001. While working for Capgemini, I was involved in various projects for Nuon, APX, EPZ, Essent and Eneco.

At UCPartners I am responsible for content management and knowledge development in the framework of energy markets. In that context I am responsible for the Academy activities in which participants can become abreast of the latest developments in the energy markets from various perspectives such as institutional, technical, economic, social and legislative.
