Opponents of a new 55-megawatt “peaker” plant in Peabody are taking their fight to the big screen.
“#StopPeabodyPeaker,” a new documentary created by Peabody resident Steven Andrada.
Its 40-minute runtime will discuss what led to the construction of the plant at the Waters River substation (off Pulaski Street), which is expected to wrap up this summer, and why some activists, state legislators and local leaders have tried to stop it.
The new $85 million plant would be powered by oil and natural gas, and only run during peak times of energy use.
