Powering New Mexico

Powering New Mexico’s Mission

Powering New Mexico is an alliance of New Mexicans who believe we must harness our state’s renewable energy resources, support growth in wind and solar capacity, and advocate for transmission upgrades to deliver that power to market.

With our incredible wind and solar resources, New Mexico is becoming a national clean energy leader. Our growing clean energy industry will create thousands of new jobs and pump billions of dollars of new private capital investment into our communities.
