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 />
