Universal Citation: 17 NM Admin Code 17.9.573.11

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024

A. The initial statewide capacity program cap of 200 megawatts alternating current is allocated among the three qualifying utilities according to addressable market estimations, subject to further refinement, as follows:

(1) public service company of New Mexico (PNM), 125 MW;

(2) southwestern public service company (SPS), 45 MW; and

(3) El Paso electric company (EPE), 30 MW.

B. If, within one year of the receipt by a utility of the results of an initial request for proposals for community solar facilities, the initial capacity cap allocation for that utility has not been fully committed by contract, the commission may, at its discretion, apply the unused capacity to another utility on a showing of the latter utility's sufficient subscriber demand.

C. On or before April 1, 2024, the commission will commence a review of the results of the initial allocation and subscriber demand for the community solar program and a proceeding to establish a revised annual statewide capacity program cap and allocation to be in effect after November 1, 2024.
