Our Vision

The Massachusetts Clean Peak Coalition envisions community-led transitions of peaker plants to 100% clean and renewable energy that will safeguard the health of all residents, especially those most impacted by the health, economic, and racial injustices of fossil fuel infrastructure, across the state of Massachusetts.

Our Mission

Our mission is to facilitate the transition to clean peak energy by partnering with impacted communities and community-based organizations through technical assistance, capacity building and information sharing.

Our Goal

Retirement of all polluting peaker power plants in Massachusetts and replacement with 100% clean and renewable energy technologies through an inclusive and equitable process that centers and advances the priorities of impacted communities.

Coalition Members

BEAT
The Berkshire Environmental Action Team works to protect the environment for wildlife in support of the natural world that sustains us all. Our No Fracked Gas in Mass program works to stop the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure in the Northeast states, promote equitable transition to zero emissions alternatives, and to promote energy efficiency and local, permanent jobs in a clean energy economy.

Massachusetts Climate Action Network 
The Massachusetts Climate Action Network (MCAN) is a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to accelerate the equitable decarbonization of buildings and the electricity supply by empowering local residents, advocates, and community members to take action. Working with local chapters, coalitions and partners, MCAN empowers people to create human-centered buildings, push for regional clean and just energy policies and regulations, and continue to fight against investments in fossil fuel energy projects in municipal utility districts.

Slingshot
Slingshot is a regional organization that works alongside the communities most impacted by environmental threats to take aim at polluters and build community power. As a result, Slingshot holds deep relationships with several groups across Massachusetts who are fighting polluting fossil fuel infrastructure. Slingshot also offers a regional lens thanks to its leadership on the Fix the Grid campaign, a grassroots effort in the 6 Northeast states that aims to accelerate a just transition to a democratic, transparent and renewable electric grid.

Clean Energy Group
CEG is a national nonprofit advocacy organization focused on accelerating an equitable and inclusive transition to a resilient, sustainable, clean energy future. CEG’s Phase Out Peakers initiative is the first national effort to systematically demonstrate with analysis and technical assessments how communities can harness clean, non-combustion alternatives to meet peak electricity demand and capture local health and wealth benefits.
