Dive Brief:
The Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) has issued two all-source Requests For Proposals (RFPs) to support expected economic growth in the state, and to replace the planned Rockmont solar-plus-storage project, which is not on track for completion by 2022 as originally planned.
Tom Fallgren, PNM vice president of generation, said PNM had issued two extensions on the Rockmont project, which had run into siting difficulties, before submitting a notice of default to the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission on Monday.
Completing the Rockmont project at a later date is not off the table, Fallgren said. However, he said PNM will seek replacement resources for the near-term to ensure service remains reliable when the coal-fired San Juan Generating Station closes in 2022.
