Igor Tregub

On May 28, 2024, Igor Tregub was elected to the Berkeley City Council following a 20+ year career of public service at all levels of government, including eight years on the Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board, twelve local commission appointments, and oversight of a multimillion-dollar federal budget. Outside of City Hall, Igor serves as the Strategic Partnerships Director and Senior Policy Advisor at Reimagine Power, a women-owned boutique consultancy providing legislative and regulatory advocacy for renewable energy solutions benefitting renters and all who have been historically left out of the clean energy transition.

Igor has served in a variety of volunteer roles, including the Berkeley Rotary, and has chaired the 35,000-member strong Sierra Club San Francisco Bay Chapter as the youngest chair and first immigrant to serve in that role. He currently serves as Co-Vice Chair of Sierra Club California and Executive Committee of the Sierra Club’s Council of Club Leaders. He continues to mentor and support elected and appointed public servants and emerging leaders through organizations like Water Education for Latino Leaders, the Clean Energy Leadership Institute, Local Progress, and Young Elected Officials Network, and serves as an East Bay Division Representative to the Environmental Quality Committee of the California League of Cities.

On the international front, he is organizing to bring distributed solar and storage and energy democracy through the deployment of an Energy Security Marshall Plan to his homeland of Ukraine. He holds an M.A. in Public Leadership from the University of San Francisco, M.S. in Engineering Management from Duke University, and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering/B.A. in Political Science from UC Berkeley (GO BEARS!)
