The world’s third clean energy source
Equinox Ocean Turbines is dedicated to developing ocean current energy as the world’s third source of clean energy. We understand the increasing need for a reliable, predictable energy solution. One that benefits our people and our planet.
Who are we?
Our team consists of passionate individuals who share a vision of a better future.
We are committed to making a positive impact in the world.
Andries van Unen believes that everyone should consider the impact of their actions on the availability of raw materials, working conditions, the distribution of financial resources, and the protection of species and the climate. He envisions a world where everyone has access to affordable, clean energy. Andries’ personal SDGs are 7, 9, and 13.
Pieter de Haas believes that sustainability requires responsible and proactive action, which involves putting in a little extra effort. He wants to leave a positive impact on the planet that will make his children proud. He wants to spread Albert Einstein’s quote:
“The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.”
Bart Velthuizen believes that uniting and collaborating across borders can help us tackle global challenges. With over 30 years of experience in product development, he’s eager to help shape a brighter future.
Elina Douma believes that fighting climate change and protecting our oceans are part of the same mission. As a marine environmental expert, she’s dedicated to showing that renewable energy and marine protection can work together to create a better future for both our planet and sea life.
Ir. Vineeth S. Maniyara believes in a future where clean energy is not just a goal but a way of life, shaped by thoughtful engineering, responsible living, and the power of knowledge to drive change. In both his work and daily choices, he strives to align action with the sustainable world he believes in.
Reiner Praamstra believes that the energy transition goes far beyond the use of clean energy sources. Protecting nature and the climate also offers great opportunities to improve the quality of life for all humans on Earth. Why not seize this great opportunity?

How we are making impact
Equinox turbine technology is one of the few viable solutions to unlock the full potential of ocean energy. With our team’s expertise and experience, we can accelerate the transformation of the energy industry towards a clean future. We are standing on the shoulders of giants by partnering with industrial companies like Damen Shipyards. We aim to boost local economies and have a beneficial effect on developing countries by leveraging local supply chains and production sites.
Our team applies sustainability not only in our work but also in our personal lives. We find a balance between work, family, and community, and act as ecologically, socially, and economically sustainable as possible. We want to contribute to the solutions that lead to a carbon-neutral planet and ensure a better future for generations to come.
These principles are not just values we hold. They are commitments we operate by. Our Code of Conduct makes explicit how we work together across teams and partners, how we approach safety and environmental responsibility, and how we make decisions when trade-offs become real. It reflects our belief that trust is built not only by what you promise, but by how you operate. Our approach is aligned with the principles of the United Nations Global Compact.
