CHICAGO, IL – [August 30, 2024] – Invenergy, the leading developer, owner, and operator of sustainable energy solutions, welcomes Meg Nyberg as the company’s first Tribal Relations Lead. Based in Denver, Nyberg will lead Invenergy’s corporate tribal engagement and representation efforts, drawing on her commitment to tribal nations and Indigenous communities and extensive experience in the energy sector. Nyberg will support Invenergy’s full U.S. renewables portfolio including onshore wind and solar generation, battery energy storage, long-range transmission, and offshore wind.
"Clean energy expansion will only succeed if it works for all people and communities, and Invenergy sees meaningful, continued engagement with Indigenous communities as fundamental to delivering cleaner, more reliable, affordable energy,” said Erin Lieberman, Executive Vice President of Environmental Compliance and Strategy at Invenergy. “Meg’s experience and personal dedication to Indigenous communities and environmental stewardship will be a tremendous asset as we continue to responsibly grow Invenergy’s portfolio.”
Nyberg comes to Invenergy with nearly 10 years of supporting engagement, partnerships, and advocacy with Indigenous communities and over 15 years of expertise in engineering, project development, and contract negotiation. Most recently, Nyberg served as the Director of Strategy at SEI, a Native-owned engineering & survey consulting firm, where she drove strategic development and relationships, specifically building partnerships with Indigenous communities, Native-led NGOs, and Native-owned consultants to support energy sovereignty. Nyberg has worked closely with her teams to respect Traditional Ecological Knowledge and integrate sustainable practices into every project phase. Before joining SEI, Nyberg garnered more than a decade of experience in business development for various energy consulting firms specializing in engineering, land survey and land acquisition efforts.
“I’m grateful to join Invenergy as the company’s first Tribal Relations Lead and scale their already meaningful engagement with Indigenous communities who are critical to the clean energy transition,” said Nyberg. “As a responsible and respectful clean energy developer, my hire is moving Invenergy’s community engagement forward in a good way, and I look forward to the future as it relates to Tribal engagement.”
