PNM SAYS IT DOESN’T EXPECT PRESIDENT TRUMP’S ORDER ROLLING BACK CLEAN ENERGY STANDARDS TO HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE COMPANY’S LONG RANGE PLANS. THEY INCLUDE SHUTTING DOWN TWO UNITS AT A COAL-FIRED PLANT IN SAN JUAN COUNTY.
SPOKESMAN PAHL SHIPLEY SAYS THAT ENERGY WILL BE REPLACED WITH OTHER POWER FROM THE SAN JUAN GENERATING STATION…AND ADDITIONAL SOURCES. HE SAYS THEY’VE ADDED SEVERAL NEW SOLAR FACILITIES AND WILL REPLACE IT WITH EXISTING NUCLEAR ENERGY FROM PALO VERDE. THAT’S THE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION IN ARIZONA.
SHIPLEY SAYS IT’LL TAKE TIME TO DETERMINE JUST HOW TRUMP POLICIES WILL IMPACT PNM IN THE FUTURE.
