About Us

Trieste Associates, Inc. was formed in 1998 by its president, Marion Trieste, who created the consulting business after working for ten years on behalf of communities at risk from toxic waste. Prior to that she spent 10 years with the Sierra club working on issues ranging from Clean Air Act to Reauthorizing the nation’s Superfund law. After working on Hudson River projects Trieste Associates entered the renewable energy field in 2003 in the early days of wind farm development and renewable energy marketing. Marion understood that the key to solving today's environmental and energy challenges is to actively engage the people most affected with those agencies, businesses and organizations involved in addressing the issue. Trieste Associates specializes in forming partnerships among various stakeholders affected by energy and environmental projects, and working to find mutually beneficial, cost effective solutions that protect human health and the environment in concert with responsible economic development.

Trieste Associates, based in Saratoga Springs, NY, provides high quality community education, media mobilization, and public relations for clean energy and environmental education campaigns. We provide customer-specific project teams to effectively and efficiently meet client needs, using a network of environmental, business, government, renewable energy, public relations and community relationships.
