BEAT / No Fracked Gas in Mass co-sponsor 2 events next week
BEAT is happy to co-sponsor a couple of important events next week along with MCAN (Massachusetts Climate Action Network) and others.

We’re especially honored to be on the panel for an Energy Storage Webinar on February 16. We’ll be speaking along with MCAN, Prince Lobel law firm, peaker transition consultants Clean Energy Group and Cogentrix - owner of three peaker power plants in Massachusetts that will be converting from fossil fuel generators to renewables and storage by end of next year.

One day earlier, on February 15th, join MCAN for a Peabody Peaker Teach-In and Action Party. This will be a great opportunity for folks from across the state to help out the fight against the proposed new Peabody Peaker Power Plant by reaching out to key officials and candidates for support in the struggle.

Please share these invitations with friends, colleagues and family.

See below for details and both, and see you next week!
Energy Storage Webinar
Panel discussion featuring MCAN, Prince Lobel law firm, peaker plant owners Cogentrix, renewable and storage experts Clean Energy Group and Berkshire Environmental Action Team
We’d like to invite you to an energy storage webinar on February 16, 2022 @ 12PM ET, Sponsored by Massachusetts Climate Action Network and Prince Lobel, the law firm involved in opposing the Peabody Peaker.

This webinar will showcase recent advances in policy, technology and pricing that support an accelerated transition to large-scale battery storage as an effective clean energy strategy.

Battery storage providers, experts in energy law, advocates working with utilities on transitioning to clean power, and clean energy transition consultants supporting the utility deployment of clean energy technologies nationwide will share insights into effective pathways forward. 

This event is for advocates, utility staff, local and state decision makers, and clean energy financiers wanting to learn more about:
   •   Clean energy technology options available to generate and store clean energy
   •   The policy and financing aspects that make battery storage appealing to industry and communities alike and
   •   Regulatory and administrative reforms needed to accelerate a utility-scaled clean energy transition
 
When: February 16, 2022 12:00 - 1:30 p.m. Via Zoom
Please RSVP to bpotter@princelobel.com and you will receive the Zoom login information under separate cover.

Participants will have the opportunity to network and exchange ideas about opportunities and challenges to accelerate the generation and distribution of clean energy storage.

We look forward to seeing you!

With Gratitude,
Sarah & the MCAN Team

Peabody Peaker Teach-In and Action Party
As you've probably heard, activists have been hard at work for almost a year to stop a proposed gas peaking power plant in Peabody. This facility would be in the middle of 7 environmental justice neighborhoods, and on the same site at two existing power plants - talk about a bad idea! And that's without even getting into the fact that it's 2022 and we should be investing in renewable energy instead of building fossil fuel infrastructure that will be obsolete in no time.

Support the effort to stop the Peabody peaker by joining our Teach-In and Action Party on
Tuesday, February 15th at 6:30pm on Zoom!

We need to reach out to key decision-makers and ask them to step up and do their job to protect our communities. We'll be sharing the latest information about the campaign, then taking action by writing letters to our state legislators and gubernatorial candidates.

If you live outside of the North Shore, we especially need you! We're trying to reach as many state legislators across Massachusetts as possible, so come make your voice heard. While the power plant will be in Peabody, its polluting and climate-warming consequences won't be limited by city boundaries.

Thanks for your support, see you on the 15th!

Best,
Mireille Bejjani
