PNM Sky Blue®:
Renewable Energy for New Mexico


PNM Sky Blue. Your Local, Affordable, Clean Energy Resource

Did you know that PNM Sky Blue®  is New Mexico's own home-grown source of 100% locally-generated, clean energy? PNM Sky Blue uses 22,000 solar panels from our facility in Los Lunas plus wind purchased from the New Mexico Energy Center near Fort Sumner to give our customers an easy, affordable way to show their support for clean energy.


No assembly required.

Joining PNM Sky Blue makes it easy and affordable to support clean, renewable wind and solar energy without making the huge commitment of putting solar panels on your roof or wind turbines in your backyard. That's especially desirable if your budget doesn't allow for the purchase of solar panels right now or you are renting your home. There's no 30-year commitment to a contract, and you can stop, start or change your subscription at any time and with no penalty.


So simple. So significant.

As little as $1.70 per month is all it takes to support clean, renewable energy here in New Mexico. You have two options to subscribe. Since we already supply 15 percent of your electricity with renewable energy, you can subscribe for up to 85 percent of your use. Don't worry - we won't make you do the math. Our calculator will show you how much it costs to join and looks at your usage history to advise you on the right subscription level.

Option 1 - Block Subscription: This is the perfect plan for someone who wants to add more local renewables to our grid but wants to pay the same amount each month. With the "block" option, you can purchase 100 kWh blocks for just $1.70 each, above your current rate.

Option 2 - Percentage Subscription: This plan is ideal for someone who wants to add more local, clean energy based on how much energy they use each month. Because your electricity usage varies each month, your PNM Sky Blue cost will vary monthly too with your electric use.
