PNM SAYS NEW MEXICO WILL CONTINUE TO BE LESS DEPENDENT ON COAL, DESPITE THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S MOVE TO REPEAL REGULATIONS ON COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS. PNM ANNOUNCED LAST YEAR THAT IT INTENDS TO MOVE ENTIRELY AWAY FROM COAL BY THE YEAR 2031.
A COMPANY SPOKESMAN TELLS THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN THAT NO CHANGES TO THAT PLAN ARE ANTICIPATED. PNM SAYS IT WILL SHUT DOWN ITS FOUR CORNERS POWER PLANT NEAR FARMINGTON IN ANOTHER FIVE YEARS.
