New Mexico’s largest solar-plus-storage plant in utility coal retirement plan acquired by DE Shaw
Utility Public Service Company of New Mexico’s (PNM) plan to procure energy from 950MW of solar and storage facilities by 2022 and replace its retiring 562MW San Juan Generating Station coal plant has been handed a boost.
Arroyo Solar and Storage Project, a 300MWac solar PV plant with 150MWac / 600MWh of colocated battery storage in New Mexico’s McKinley County, will be the largest of the new clean energy resources PNM will lean on.
