"City & State’s Who’s Who in Energy, researched and written in partnership with journalist Lon Cohen, highlights the key stakeholders who are in the middle of the high-stakes debate over New York’s energy future."
Maryann McCarthy advises clients on legislative strategy, project permitting and economic development incentives tied to energy infrastructure, with a focus on helping them navigate the state’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. Her recent work includes advancing renewable natural gas ventures, waste-to-energy expansion, battery storage, electric vehicle infrastructure and efforts to bring advanced nuclear power projects to New York. Previously, McCarthy spent nearly a decade representing the American Petroleum Institute in Albany during major debates over biofuels, natural gas infrastructure and the state’s clean energy transition.
