Michel De Zwart

From 15 April 2013 till 15 August 2013 , Robin Jacobsson was a trainee under my supervision. For this traineeship Robin assessed the solar market in Rwanda from a technological innovation system perspective. For that he also assessed the contribution of solar projects as subsidized by the Daey Ouwens Fund program to the relevant market development. This program is implemented by NL Agency on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands. Robin easily established a close network of key stakeholders in the sector. He functioned as an adept agent between the project implementers and policy making bodies. Robin was able to translate complex technical aspects and market potentials to an interesting thesis on the Rwandese solar market and provided useful policy advice. I found Robin to be a consistently pleasant trainee, carrying out his assignments smoothly and creatively and with a sound knowledge base.

Robin is a driven, energetic and self-motivated achiever with great interpersonal skills, who always looks to perform at top level and gets on top of things quickly. I have had the pleasure of working with Robin on several assignments on foreign policy analysis, and I am impressed by his proficiency in quickly and efficiently mapping complex areas of policy.

My areas of responsibility also included following and participating in developing the swedish and european gas market, where much focus is placed on the european green deal and sector coupling, including hydrogen. My responsibilites during 2020 included project managing two government appointed projects. The first project concerned a resource adequacy assessment of the swedish electricity market. In the second project we developed an implementation plan for adopting measures to eliminate any identified regulatory distortions or market failures. Show less

      I analysed the Rwandan Solar PV market and evaluated a company which had been funded by Agentschap NL, an agency within the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs. I contributed with policy advice to public, private and international actors based on the framework Technological Innovation Systems. I for example advised the Rwandan Minister for Energy and Water how to best stimulate the domestic solar PV market in order to reach the 1,2 million rural households in need of electricity. Agentschap NL and the World Bank also found my findings to be of great interest. Show less
