Navigant (NYSE: NCI) today announced it has acquired Ecofys, an
international consultancy based in Europe with a leading position
in the fields of energy and sustainability.
The addition of 150 Ecofys consulting professionals enhances
Navigant’s capabilities and solution offerings, providing
additional expertise in the areas of energy policy, climate
strategies and policies, energy systems and markets, urban energy,
and sustainability services. With this acquisition, Navigant
further strengthens and expands its position as a leading global
energy consultancy.
“Ecofys has a strong reputation as a premier provider of energy
consulting services,” said Jan Vrins, managing director and leader
of Navigant’s Energy segment. “The addition of Ecofys strengthens
Navigant’s energy solutions to our clients, creating robust
capabilities for governments, utility companies, industry, and new
entrants to effectively respond to and capitalize on the global
transformation within the energy sector.”
Headquartered in the Netherlands, Ecofys began as a pioneer in
sustainability consulting more than 30 years ago. Formerly a wholly
owned subsidiary of Eneco, one of Europe’s leading sustainable
energy companies, Ecofys’ work has led to prestigious honors,
including the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for contributions on the
United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and the
2008 Erasmus Innovation Award.
“We live in a world of rapidly changing energy demand and supply
against a background of significant climate-related and economic
challenges,” says Thijs Aarten, CEO and managing director of
Ecofys. “Together with Navigant, our deep, combined expertise in
strategy and implementation will enable our clients to adapt to the
ongoing energy and climate transition.”
Jeroen de Haas, CEO of Eneco Group added, “I’m pleased with the
acquisition of Ecofys by Navigant. Ecofys has been part of Eneco
