Marguerite heads up Invenergy’s NY development office, based in Ithaca. Her team has a portfolio of 1500 MW of wind, solar, and battery storage projects in NY in permitting currently, most of which are contracted with NYSERDA or NYPA. Prior to joining Invenergy, Marguerite developed Black Oak Wind Farm, a 16 MW wind project in central NY where she crowdfunded $3 million in community investment to develop the project. Marguerite also built and eventually sold Motherplants, a green roof plant nursery business that has supplied many of the green roofs built in NYS. She is a fifth-generation New Yorker, and a graduate of Cornell with a Bachelor’s in Animal Science and Natural Resources. She got her Masters in Environmental Sustainability back before anyone had heard the word ‘sustainability’ from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.
