PNM calls for 50 MW solar project to support C&I program in New Mexico

The company has issued a request for proposals for 50 MW of solar to support its simultaneously-announced subscription program for government, tribal and other large customers. New Mexico utility PNM has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for the development of a 50 MW solar power project to support the company’s just-announced PNM Solar Direct program. PNM Solar Direct is a subscription-based service for local governments, tribes and large electric customers to purchase of portions of the power generated by the new plant. In a show of early support, the city of Albuquerque has already signed up to subscribe to the half of the program’s capacity, 25 MW, as a way to meet the city’s 100% sustainable energy goal.
