.......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... Citizens for Fair Rates and the Environment (CFRE) is concerned that the proposed merger between Public Service Company of New Mexico and Avangrid, via N.M. Green Holding Inc., extensively benefits PNMR shareholders and executives without meaningful benefit to ratepayers. The merger does so in violation of N.M. law and to the detriment of our environment and emissions goals. CFRE opposes the merger request. We hope readers will add their names to our petition at: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/the-pnm-avangrid-merger-must-benefit-the-people-of-new-mexico?source=direct_link&. The petition opposes the merger; if however the merger does proceed, the petition requests that there be more ratepayer protections and community benefits incorporated into the deal.
