To the editor:<br />
Something is fishy off Pulaski<br />
Street by the Waters River in Peabody.<br />
The Massachusetts Municipal<br />
Wholesale Electric Company<br />
(MMWEC) plans to build a fossil-fuel-powered<br />
55-megawatt<br />
generator. The peak capacity generator<br />
would operate about 239<br />
hours a year to meet the surge capacity<br />
energy needs of 14 power<br />
plants.<br />
This makes no sense when a<br />
battery-powered facility on Monterey<br />
Bay, Calif. led to the closure of<br />
three nearby peak capacity generators<br />
powered by fossil fuels.<br />
You’d think MMWEC, with<br />
some of the highest percentages<br />
of renewable energy, would know<br />
better and not break the law of the<br />
Next Generation Roadmap.<br />
The Moss Landing, California<br />
300-megawatt Vistra Energy<br />
LETTER TO THE EDITOR<br />
system, is the world’s largest lithium-ion<br />
battery.<br />
It is so effective that Pacific Gas<br />
& Electric in July 2020, having<br />
been delayed by the COVID-19<br />
pandemic, began construction of<br />
a 182.5-megawatt facility (“Elkhorn”)<br />
provided by Tesla.<br />
The MMWEC peak generator<br />
in Peabody would operate primarily<br />
during extreme weather events,<br />
which are not the best conditions<br />
for powering up gas turbines. It will<br />
produce 55 megawatts, about onetenth<br />
the power of the big battery<br />
in California. At this scale, there are<br />
alternatives to lithium-ion batteries.<br />
Currently available are pumped<br />
hydro, gravity-based, compressed<br />
air and flow batteries.<br />
Pumped hydro is the most common.<br />
The hydroelectric station<br />
inside Northfield Mountain where<br />
the Deerfield River meets the<br />
Connecticut River has five-billion<br />
gallons of water in a mountain-top<br />
reservoir. Electricity is generated<br />
when water falls hundreds of feet<br />
down internally inside the hollowed<br />
mountain.<br />
These days, there is no such<br />
mountain in Peabody. However,<br />
a high water tower that rivals the<br />
coal-fired power stack over Salem<br />
might be a welcome navigational<br />
aid out at sea.<br />
A water tower would be much<br />
more benign for folks and fowl<br />
living along the Waters River than<br />
would a fossil-fuel-fired peak capacity<br />
generator. One could put<br />
a restaurant on top, perhaps with<br />
swimming carp visible through the<br />
floor, and bring the Seattle space<br />
needle home to innovative and forward<br />
thinking Peabody.<br />
