Create place with energy surrounded by non-drinkers from petition (4,1,4)

'surrounded by non-drinkers from petition' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'create place with energy' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'create' could be 'make' ('make' can be a synonym of 'create') and 'make' is found in the answer.
'place' could be 'pl' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'pl' is located in the answer.
'energy' could be 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mc2) and 'e' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'aa' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
