This analysis demonstrates that battery storage can cost effectively replace aging fossil-fueled peaker power plants in New England.
Clean Energy Group submitted comments to the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources on DOER’s December 2023 report, “Charging Forward: Energy Storage Toward a Net Zero Commonwealth.”
The Massachusetts Clean Peak Coalition submitted comments to the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources regarding DOER’s December 2023 report, “Charging Forward: Energy Storage in a Net Zero Commonwealth”.
This report outlines the negative impacts that peaker power plants are having on NYC communities, challenges and barriers impeding the speed of the transition, and pathways forward to accelerate the transition to clean alternatives.
The PEAK Coalition submitted comments regarding the EPA’s proposed new carbon pollution standards for coal and gas-fired power plants, expressing grave concerns about the environmental justice implications of the proposed rules.
The EPA is proposing changes to the Clean Air Act related to greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel-fired electric generating units. CEG, along with nine partner organizations, has submitted comments expressing concerns about the potential impact of these proposed changes.
Clean Energy Group and partners submitted comments to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection regarding a proposed rulemaking concept to allow clean energy compliance options for existing Electric Generating Units. These comments raise significant questions about various elements of the proposal and expressed concern that such rules, if developed and approved, would enable fossil assets to remain online unnecessarily.
This analysis determines that the development of a system featuring solar, battery storage, and a backup gas turbine would be a viable and preferred alternative to a new gas-fired CC plant for meeting NJ Transit’s critical loads during severe weather-related outages.
This report examines the environmental justice and public health impacts of peaker power plants in three U.S. cities – Boston, Philadelphia, and Detroit. The report also provides several case studies on lessons learned from community-led opposition efforts in the three cities as well as in New York City and New Orleans.
PEAK Coalition Comments on the New York Energy Storage Roadmap
The PEAK Coalition, in partnership with Earthjustice and El Puente, filed comments on March 7, 2024, with the New York State Public Service Commission. The comments call for the need for a capacity carveout and additional incentives for battery storage in New York City (NYISO’s Zone J) in any upcoming order implementing New York’s Energy Storage Roadmap.
