SM Position on Peaker Plant
Sustainable Marblehead recognizes MMWEC’s obligation to provide adequate power to meet peak demand. At the same time, the cost and capacity of battery storage has changed dramatically during the six years since the project was first designed in 2015.
We request that MMWEC further pause this project and allow for third-party analysis.

Sustainable Marblehead in Action
Sea-themed bike racks are installed around Marblehead. Thanks to Bruce and Judy Eissner who donated the bike racks, working with Sustainable Marblehead and the Recreation and Parks Department.
They’re a great reminder that bicycling is fun, healthy, and safe and doesn’t leave a carbon footprint.
