This report assesses the community health impacts of a fossil fuel peaker power plant in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Built in 1990, the oil and gas-powered Pittsfield Generating Facility runs only during times of peak electricity demand, producing some of the most expensive and polluting energy on the grid. As the facility ages, its rate of pollution…
This report reviews six case studies in which fossil fuel-fired electric generation is being replaced by clean energy resources like solar, wind or battery storage. These stories chart a course for Massachusetts as it works to decarbonize its electric power sector.
The PEAK Coalition – UPROSE, THE POINT CDC, New York City Environmental Justice Alliance (NYC-EJA), New York Lawyers for the Public Interest (NYLPI), and Clean Energy Group (CEG) – a campaign to end the long-standing pollution burden from fossil fuel-fired power plants, submitted comments on NYSERDA’s 2024-2030 energy storage incentives plan. The coalition supports the…
This report highlights ways to address New York City’s growing electricity demand and accelerate peaker plant retirement through robust demand management solutions that harness the flexibility of customer devices, such as smart thermostats, heat pumps, electric vehicle chargers, solar, and battery storage, to reduce stress on the electric grid. The report includes best practices for…
The PEAK Coalition, a campaign to end the long-standing pollution burden from fossil fuel-fired power plants, submitted comments to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation on the Title V Permit for Rikers Island Facility.
Clean Energy Group and its partners submitted comments to the EPA regarding the development of emissions standards and guidelines for existing fossil-fueled stationary combustion turbines.
This analysis demonstrates that battery storage can cost effectively replace aging fossil-fueled peaker power plants in New England.
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.
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.”
Comments on Draft Air Pollution Control Operating Permit for Passaic Valley Sewage Commission
Clean Energy Group submitted comments to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection regarding the Draft Air Pollution Control Operating Permit Significant Modification, issued to the Passaic Valley Sewage Commission (PVSC). CEG points out that PVSC has not provided sufficient evidence that their proposed combustion turbines are necessary to meet the anticipated maximum energy demand…
