Summary
Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) has filed a plan with state regulators to add nearly 1,700 megawatts of renewable energy projects across the state to replace power lost when it exits the Four Corners Generating Station. The utility aims to eliminate all coal plants from its grid by 2031 to comply with the Energy Transition Act. However, PNM also wants to keep natural-gas plants running to meet rising electricity demand, creating tension between its renewable energy commitments and continued fossil fuel reliance.
