PNM.com Named 'Outstanding Website' by Web Marketing Association
Albuquerque: PNM today announced that its company
web site, PNM.com, was named an "Outstanding Website"
by the Web Marketing Association.
The Outstanding Website designation is the second tier of
recognition given by the Web Marketing Association's annual
WebAwards. PNM competed for this award against other companies
in the energy industry. The only higher industry distinction
is a "Best of Industry" award, won this year by
an Arizona utility.
"It's an honor to receive this award, and we believe
it reflects PNM's commitment to customer service and being
a good neighbor through effective communication," said
Eric Paul, PNM's Web Site Administrator.
PNM.com was re-launched in July 2002 after being extensively
revamped to make it easier to use, and to include "My
PNM" online services for customers. "My PNM"
online provides customers with a range of tools that can help
them save time and money by enabling them to track their energy
usage from month to month, evaluate how their homes can be
made more energy efficient, pay their bills online, and track
their monthly billing patterns.
PNM.com also offers a wealth of information on the company,
including information about PNM's environmental stewardship
efforts, community involvement, charitable activities, investment
opportunities, and information about how PNM's gas and electric
systems work.
In addition, PNM.com will soon enable customers who wish
to demonstrate their commitment to the environment to sign
up online for the PNM Sky Blue program. PNM Sky Blue is a
voluntary program in which customers can purchase renewable
energy for an additional, minimal surcharge. This electricity
is generated by the New Mexico Wind Energy Center in eastern
New Mexico.
"The goal for PNM.com has always been to make it a useful
tool to our customers and our community where they can quickly
find the information they are seeking," Paul said.
PNM is the principal subsidiary of PNM Resources,
an energy holding company based in Albuquerque. PNM provides
natural gas service to 441,000 gas customers and electric
utility service to 378,000 customers in New Mexico. The company
also sells power on the wholesale market in the Western U.S.
PNM Resources stock is traded primarily on the NYSE under
the symbol PNM.
