ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.,
May 31,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The New Mexico Public Regulation
Commission (NMPRC) approved an application by Public Service
Company of New Mexico (PNM), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of PNM Resources (NYSE: PNM), for new
energy resources to be added by summer 2026.
The new resources, totaling 410 megawatts of solar and battery
storage capacity, are planned to serve growing demand from PNM's
retail customers. PNM system peak demand reached new record highs
in the summers of 2022 and 2023.
"PNM's system needs are growing, and we are pleased the
Commission approved our application to meet these growing needs
with additional clean energy resources," said Pat Vincent-Collawn, PNM Resources Chairman and
CEO. "We are continuing to fulfill our pledge to reach carbon-free
energy in New Mexico while
ensuring we can reliably meet our customers' growing energy
demands."
PNM filed its application in October
2023 after issuing a request for proposals in late 2022 to
identify potential new resources available to serve customers in
2026. The approved resources consist of 100 megawatts of solar and
310 megawatts of battery storage, including a 60-megawatt battery
storage facility to be owned by PNM.
Integration of these resources, along with other renewable and
battery storage resources previously approved, will bring PNM's
resource capacity to 75% carbon-free in 2026.
The application and related materials are available at
https://www.pnmresources.com/investors/rates-and-filings.aspx. The
Commission order will be added once available.
