THE PNM AVANGRID MERGER: NOT IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST

We intervened in the PNM Avangrid merger case at the PRC because it offers no benefits to the people of New Mexico. Ratepayers are offered a 59¢ credit while shareholders and company executives make millions.

OPPOSING FALSE SOLUTIONS

When the truth finally overwhelmed the climate change denial that the fossil fuel industry has been pushing for decades they switched strategies, promoting false climate solutions like Carbon Capture and Storage, Carbon Offsets and Hydrogen production as solutions in order to further delay decarbonization.

A PUBLIC POWER ALTERNATIVE

New Energy Economy is working with a coalition of organizations across the state to imagine an alternative to the monopoly private utility model. Public Power ownership can act as an economic engine, with local control and community values taking precedence over shareholder profit.

HOLDING UTILITIES ACCOUNTABLE

New Energy Economy combines targeted legal campaigns with public education and engagement to make complex energy and regulatory issues accessible to the public. We intervene in regulatory cases at the Public Regulation Commission to advocate for outcomes that benefit the people and the planet.

SAYING NO TO FOUR CORNERS COAL

PNM filed an abandonment application for Four Corners Power Plant that includes sale of its shares to NTEC. Instead of shutting down, NTEC will keep the plant operational till at least 2027. This is contrary to law and contrary to science.
