Integrated Resource PlanningWhere will Your electricity come from in the future?Public Service Company of New Mexico wants input from customers and industry experts to help us in our preparation of the PNM Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) for 2014. The state's IRP rule requires us to examine the challenges and opportunities for providing energy in the future and to identify the most cost-effective power generation portfolio. Although planning is ongoing at PNM, every three years we file an IRP with the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission that includes a four-year action plan and a look at energy needs for the next 20 years. We will file our next plan by June 30, 2014. To kick-off this year-long planning process, we will hold public meetings in July where we will present an overview of the IRP process, review our existing power resources from wind and solar energy to coal, gas and nuclear energy, and explore those things that impact energy planning such as the projected need for electricity, regulations, cost to customers, the environment and the need to keep power reliable. Meeting Information Meetings are open to the public, however you must RSVP in advance so that we can plan by calling (888) 413-0064 or sending an email to irp@pnm.com. Leave your name, phone number and the meeting you wish to attend. Refreshments will be provided. The official kickoff meeting will be in Albuquerque at the time and location shown below. Albuquerque: Thursday, July 25, 2013 at 8 a.m. Additional meetings will be held at the following locations and times: Alamogordo: Thursday, July 18, 2013 at Noon Silver City: Friday, July 19, 2013 at 8:00 a.m. Santa Fe: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 8 a.m. Posted: June 11, 2013 |
