Marina Solomon is currently working in project development at GCL New Energy helping to develop utility-scale solar plants across the U.S., South Africa, Latin America and India. She completed a master’s in Global Affairs with a concentration in Energy and Environmental Policy at NYU in 2012 and has a B.A. from Brandeis University in International Studies and Spanish. Her involvement in Energy Access SF has been a great way to stay connected with her interest in the intersection of international development, renewable energy and climate change mitigation. She hopes the events the group puts on will help create a collaborative local community with a strong voice to push for access to renewable energy in the developing world and help provide quickly developing nations the tools they need to “leapfrog” over the dirty energy sources of the 20th century.
