MORE SOLAR AND WIND POWER ARE IN ALBUQUERQUE'S FUTURE. PNM UNVEILED A PLAN MONDAY TO BUILD THREE SOLAR GENERATING STATIONS IN THE ALBUQUERQUE AREA AND BUY MORE ELECTRICITY FROM A WIND FARM IN CIBOLA COUNTY.
IF STATE REGULATORS APPROVE IT, THE EXTRA RESOURCES WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH POWER FOR ABOUT 132 THOUSAND HOMES BY 2015 AND SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS. IT'LL COST PNM CUSTOMERS ABOUT 83 CENTS MORE A MONTH.
