Renewable + Ready
—— You deserve a better catastrophe, and your community does, too.
Meghan Reha (she/her) is an engineer, renewable energy expert, and a consultant with more than 18 years experience advising renewable energy developers, owners, operators, and financiers on technical risks associated with utility scale wind and solar projects.
Witnessing unchecked climate disasters test the character of even the most stalwart communities, Meghan applies her experience to equip and empower communities with practical steps to support their own survival and resilience in the ongoing climate crisis with a decolonized, trauma-informed lens.
Meghan’s work is motivated by her deep human desire for right relationship with the Earth and all Her inhabitants, and she believes that Indigenous Justice is a core tenant of a livable future, and organizes with the Coalition to Dismantle the Doctrine of Discovery.
Meghan’s is also a cat lady, a voracious reader , and and old house nerd. Her renovation of her home in a historic red-line neighborhood of Bloomington, Illinois reflects her deep engagement with community resilience through sustainability, and she tells this story in her TEDx Talk “Home for the (Climate) Crisis.”
