The New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (NM PRC) began meeting that objective recently when it unanimously approved a plan to replace the coal-fired San Juan Generating Station near Farmington, N.M., with 650 MW of photovoltaics (PV) and 300 MW of energy storage by 2022. These webinars explored the technical requirements and other measures necessary to achieve the NM ETA objectives, and to help inform regulators and policy makers, utilities, industry, and the public on the pathways to meeting them.
