PEABODY — Steven Andrada's new film '#StopPeabodyPeaker' puts a renewably-charged spotlight on a new oil and gas 'peaker' plant that's spurred activists into action during the last two years. Andrada, a Peabody resident and retired TV news videographer and editor, lives within a mile of the new 55-megawatt 'peaker' plant being built at the Peabody Municipal Light Plant (PMLP) substation off Pulaski Street. Once he learned of the project and started to investigate, he 'began to unravel a long timeline of agency secrecy and deception,' he said at the film's premiere at the Torigian Senior Center in Peabody Thursday night.
