/in /by

While our work at NM IPL is not usually so filled with regulatory hearings, this has beenthe case the last several weeks.

We are so grateful to many of you who have offered written and verbal comments for the Public Regulatory Commission meetings related to the replacement plan of San Juan Power Plant, new state building codes, Oil Commission Division hearing on Produced Water and now Thursday, August 6 NM Environment Department and Energy Minerals and Natural Resources hearing on state methane pollution capture rules (this is part of a process that began over a year ago.)
