A Berkshire Environmental Action Team campaign Put Peakers in the Past is demanding that the three peaking power plants located in Berkshire County revert to only renewable and clean alternatives. Peaking plants are used to meet periods of high energy demand. The decades-old plants at Pittsfield Generating Co. on Merrill Road, the Eversource substation on Doreen Street and the EP Energy plant on Woodland Road in Lee run off fossil fuels such as natural gas, oil, and kerosene. Pittsfield Generating is a co-generating plant that also provides steam energy. Rosemary Wessel, program director for BEAT s No Fracked Gas in Mass campaign, said this sparks concern from environmentalists because the fuels emit excess nitrogen oxides and contribute to the region s greenhouse gas emissions.
