Ingrid Bjorklund

With more than twenty years working on energy matters in private practice, governmental roles, and inhouse counsel, I’ve seen tremendous change as we transition to cleaner energy and nothing is more exciting than working on innovative projects and policies. I’m dedicated to delivering efficient solutions and strategies while providing the personalized attention my clients deserve to achieve their goals, which often involve guiding them through complex regulatory environments.  

Prior to joining Avisen, I represented renewable and clean energy companies, utilities, biofuel companies, trade associations, and nonprofits at my own firm and a mid-sized law firm. Such work encompassed wind, solar, high-voltage transmission, demand response, biofuels, and energy storage. Avisen’s Impact Counsel practice area is ideally suited for my background. 

My passion for energy issues also led me to teach energy law as an adjunct professor at Michell Hamline School of Law. My government experience includes working at the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission, Minnesota Department of Commerce, Midwest Reliability Organization and serving as a Contract Administrative Law Judge at the Minnesota Office of Administrative Hearings. 

I love being out in nature and am an avid nature and ethical wildlife photographer. I also love to travel whenever I can find the time. I’m grateful for my experiences traveling and living abroad in far-flung places that gave me a more comprehensive and compassionate view of our shared world.
