Comments on Calpine Sherman Avenue Energy Center Permit Renewal Environmental Justice Impact Statement

Clean Energy Group submitted comments to Calpine Mid-Atlantic Generation regarding the Environmental Justice Impact Statement (EJIS) submitted as part of an application for Title V Operating Permit Renewal by Calpine New Jersey Generation, LLC (“Calpine”) for the Sherman Avenue Energy Center in Vineland, New Jersey.

CEG argues that battery storage is technically and financially feasible based on its analysis of the Sherman Ave plant’s operations and site, contrary to Calpine’s statements in the EJIS that battery storage is infeasible at the plant. CEG recommends that Calpine pursue hybridization with battery storage to reduce emissions at the site and fulfill its obligations under New Jersey’s Environmental Justice Rules.
