Insights

TXNM secures regulatory approval for 450MW clean energy expansion, including $252M capital investment, advancing energy transition goals.

The New Mexico Public Regulation Commission's approval of PNM's resource stipulation represents a significant advancement in TXNM Energy's clean energy portfolio and regulatory strategy. The approval secures 450 megawatts of new solar and battery storage capacity scheduled to come online in 2028, supporting both customer needs and compliance with New Mexico's Energy Transition Act.

The approved resource package contains three key components: (1) extension of the Valencia Purchase Power Agreement for 167 MW through 2039, providing long-term generation stability; (2) addition of 300 MW of battery storage capacity through two standalone 150 MW facilities, substantially enhancing grid flexibility; and (3) development of a 150 MW combined solar and battery storage facility requiring $252 million in capital investment between 2026-2028.

Particularly noteworthy is the broad coalition supporting this stipulation, including regulatory staff, environmental advocates, consumer groups, and energy reliability proponents. This unanimous support significantly reduces regulatory risk for future ratemaking proceedings related to these assets. The Central Consolidated School District's backing also suggests positive community relations benefits.

The $252 million capital investment for the company-owned solar+storage facility will expand TXNM's rate base, potentially supporting earnings growth while advancing zero-carbon mandates. Meanwhile, the power purchase agreements provide resource diversification without balance sheet impact. This balanced approach to resource acquisition demonstrates prudent financial and operational planning as TXNM navigates the clean energy transition.
