Belin Joins VHB as Massachusetts Energy Market Leader
WATERTOWN, MA — VHB welcomes Daniel Belin, AICP, as Massachusetts Energy Market Leader and national Power Delivery Practice Leader. Throughout his career, Belin has led business development and project delivery nationwide within the energy sector, including power delivery and electric transmission; distributed generation and microgrids; large-scale offshore and onshore wind, solar, gas, biomass, and nuclear; and associated energy infrastructure.
In his role at VHB, Belin's primary responsibilities involve client management and managing teams on permitting, siting, and construction of energy infrastructure projects.
“Dan's vision and national experience delivering complex energy projects will allow us to grow our robust energy practice and continue to help our clients permit, site, and construct important energy projects throughout the region,” said Jacob San Antonio, Managing Director of Environmental Resources.
Belin has also worked with public and private sector companies, agencies, and NGOs to conduct NEPA environmental impact assessments; threatened and endangered species surveys; agency consultation (Section 7 ESA, Section 106 NHPA, Section 401/404 CWA); water quality management plans; habitat restoration; wetland delineations, permitting, and mitigation design and monitoring; Geographic Information Systems and LiDAR analysis; and terrestrial and aquatic ecology.
“It is a challenging time to get integrated to a new company, but one of the primary reasons I chose VHB was because of its deep culture and strong core values," Belin said. "Those have been on full display in these trying times and have helped me to get established in the energy market and build a team of motivated and talented professionals. I'm quite excited for what the future holds.”
Belin has a Bachelor of Arts in history and environmental studies from Yale University and earned a Master of Science in forestry from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. In addition to volunteering in his local school district to introduce children to scientific and ecological principals in the natural world, Belin also serves on the Energy Leadership team for the Energy Resources Committee of the Environmental Business Council of New England.
