The Scattergood plant would be a “Peaker Plant,” Alex Jasset, Energy Justice Director with Physicians for Social Responsibility, tells me. Meaning that it would only come on when energy usage is extremely high—only about 1 or 2 percent of the time, according to LADWP’s estimates. “As we prepare to invest $800 million in [Scattergood], I think we should be certain that there aren’t cheaper, cleaner ways to meet such a small share of the energy demand,” Jasset said.
