New Mexico Energy Council Delivers 22 Recommendations to Protect Ratepayers From Large-User Cost Shifts
The Energy Affordability and Grid Reliability Council established by New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham delivered its report in Santa Fe on November 12, presenting 22 recommendations to protect electricity customers across the state and strengthen the grid as power demand grows.
The 13-member council, created on April 22, 2026, recommended statewide ratepayer protections and a rate framework for large electricity users, aimed at preventing large customers' costs from being shifted onto households and small businesses.
The recommendations also include deploying technologies that add capacity on existing transmission lines and offering incentives for large users to curtail consumption when the grid is stressed. The governor's office said the recommendations will inform the legislative session opening in January 2027. (Source: Office of the Governor of New Mexico)
