A campaign launched by a coalition of environmental justice advocates is hoping to end the long-standing pollution burden on New York City’s frontline communities caused by 19 aging peaker plants that dot the landscape of the South Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and other neighborhoods. The plan calls for replacing the city's fleet of peaker plants with renewable energy and battery storage by 2030.
