The developer of a nearly 300-megawatt wind farm is seeking location approval from the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission.
The Grady Martin Wind Project would encompass more than 37,000 acres of land in Quay and Curry counties just north of the Village of Grady.
The PRC unanimously approved a schedule for the location application during its meeting on Wednesday that was conducted remotely via Zoom.
The order requires Grady Martin Wind, which is partnering with the Virginia-based company Apex Clean Energy, to post a location notice for the public by April 16. At that point, interested parties will have until June 15 for people to file protests and motions to intervene. During that time, the PRC staff will also review the application and will file its response by June 18. If necessary, a hearing will occur on July 26.
