Peabody Municipal Light Plant (PMLP) is an American municipal electric utility company serving the citizens of Peabody, Massachusetts and some surrounding communities. The five-member Municipal Lighting Commission is responsible for the operations of PMLP, and its members are elected by the citizens of Peabody. PMLP was founded in 1891 following a protracted legal battle with surrounding jurisdictions. The company was governed by an elected Municipal Board from 1902 to 1916.
