Albuquerque: Public Service Company of New Mexico, a subsidiary of PNM Resources, Inc. (NYSE: PNM), did not engage in simultaneous sales and purchase transactions referred to as "wash," "round trip," or "sell/buy back" trades, the company reported today to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

"We affirmed to FERC that all of our participation in the wholesale electricity market was ethical and honest," said Jeff Sterba, chairman, president and chief executive officer of PNM Resources.

The latest response to FERC comes nine days after PNM and more than 100 other energy firms reported whether they participated in wholesale marketing practices similar to those described in recently disclosed Enron memos. PNM reported to FERC on May 22 it did not engage in attempts to manipulate the wholesale power market during California’s electricity crisis in an effort to boost profits.
