ALBUQUERQUE – The Public Service Company of New Mexico is issuing two requests for information on energy resources and emerging technologies that could help the company toward its carbon-free goal.
According to a press release PNM sent out on March 22, the first request will help identify potential future generation resources that PNM could place into service in the 2028 to 2033 timeframe. Through this request, the company will collect information on resources that PNM could pursue to install up to 600 milliwatts of generating resources.
This Future Generation request for information is designed to encourage resources that have long-lead development activities so they are ready to be considered in future requests for new resources.
The second request seeks emerging technologies that PNM could consider in its 2023 Integrated Resource Plan; a 20-year resource outlook that PNM develops with community partners every three years. The information collected through this request will aim to support PNM in its transition to 100% carbon-free electricity.
Both requests for information are being pursued with a June 15 deadline, with supplemental information due by Sept. 15, and respondents are welcome to respond to either or both as appropriate.
However, the information requested is very distinct for each submittal as described in the requests for information, and responses will only be considered for the request in which a response is submitted.

These requests for information will be managed through a PNM Supply Chain Sourcing site hosted by SciQuest, an affiliated entity of Jaggaer.
