Piet G.M. Boonekamp had his scientific education at the Technical University of Eindhoven, in the faculty of Electrical Engineering. He finished his study in 1977 with a thesis on “Developing a linear programming model of the Dutch energy supply system”. In 1978 he joined ECN, where he worked on the following subjects:
- Energy model building at national level, cogeneration and end-use sectors (households).
- Execution of National Energy Outlook, in support of energy and environmental policy makers.
- Electricity supply: capacity planning, load dispatch, load-curves, industrial cogeneration and costs of base-load electricity production.
- Energy demand: savings owing to policy measures with bottom-up household simulation model.
- Monitoring and evaluation of energy and emission trends, with emphasis on energy savings, both at national and international level.

Next to his work in projects he was coordinator of unit activities in the field of national energy policy and later group leader of the section National energy policy. Since 2001 he is coordinator of Platform Monitoring Energy savings (PME), consisting of PBL, Agency NL, CBS and ECN, which regularly provides figures about realised energy savings in the Netherlands. Since 2003 he is member of the Technical Coordination committee of the international Odyssee project on energy indicators. Since 2006 he is active in standardization on Energy Efficiency and Energy Management, being chair of the national Mirror Committee at NEN, member of the Sector Forum at CEN and leader of TC257-WG2 on savings calculations for Regions at ISO. Further on, he participates in the national Discussion Platform on Energy issues (Bezinningsgroep Energie).
