HB 93: Advanced Grid Technology Plans

This bill requires public utilities in New Mexico to file Advanced Grid Technology (AGT) Plans alongside their integrated resource plans, with the goal of modernizing and improving the electrical grid's efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. The plans must detail transmission line congestion points, propose implementation strategies for advanced grid technologies like dynamic line ratings and advanced conductors, and include specific three-year project plans with cost estimates. When reviewing these plans, the Public Regulation Commission will assess whether the proposed projects can reduce ratepayer costs, improve grid reliability, support renewable energy integration, enhance grid security, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase clean energy access (especially for low-income and underserved communities), and align with state grid modernization priorities. Utilities will be allowed to recover project costs through tariff riders or base rates, with costs up to the commission-approved amount presumed reasonable. The bill also provides detailed definitions for various advanced grid technologies and amends existing energy efficiency and integrated resource planning statutes to incorporate these new grid enhancement concepts.

New Mexico 2021 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory and 2030-2050 Forecast

This study estimates GHG emissions for the 2005 baseline year and for 2021, the most recent year for which data are available for most source categories. A prior GHG inventory study was prepared by E3 for New Mexico in 2020, but since the completion of this prior study there have been a variety of data and methodology updates to estimating emissions, including the completion of state-specific oil and gas emissions inventories by the consulting firm ERG. Therefore, this study includes updated emissions for 2005 in addition to a refreshed benchmark for 2021.

This grant supports transformative outdoor experiences that foster stewardship and respect for New Mexico's lands, waters, and cultural heritage while connecting youth to outdoor recreation career pathways.
