As a member of Go’s Distributed Energy Resources team, Marah advises clients on renewable energy, demand response, energy storage and grid interactive technologies. Her experience with electrical transmission and generation allows her to help clients navigate the technical and economic feasibility of renewable energy and energy storage projects. She also helps clients navigate the ever-evolving energy policy and regulatory landscape by interpreting changes in policy and clarifying the potential impact.

Marah received a Bachelor of Energy Engineering from the University of Exeter in England, where she learned about renewable energy, energy policy, and energy management. While pursuing this degree, Marah designed residential solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery systems for a solar design and installation company. Marah helped clients navigate system and equipment options, understand their home’s energy economics, and assist the installation team in understanding site conditions.

After graduating she spent a few years working in Scotland for a transmission operator, analyzing and writing about long-term strategic planning for the electricity network. This included projecting future generation landscapes and making recommendations for how the transmission grid should prepare for these scenarios. She also helped assess and write business cases for future interconnection projects.

Marah enjoys spending time outdoors, hiking, camping, and swimming. In unfavorable weather, she enjoys cooking, baking, and reading science-fiction and fantasy novels. She has lived in four countries, and loves being a tourist, both in her home city and abroad in the 25 (and counting!) countries she has visited. Whether she is discovering Columbus with her loved ones or traveling far to explore, each experience brings new foods, new cultures, and new people.
