Why It Matters
New Mexico’s electric grid, like much of the nation’s, is old, stressed, and overdue for an upgrade. Without improvements, we’d face more outages and higher bills. Thanks to newly passed legislation, New Mexico will maximize the use of our existing poles and wires. That means lower costs, better reliability, and a smarter grid for everyone.

What’s the Solution?
This new law will accelerate the use of advanced transmission technologies, like sensors that help improve the flow of electricity across the grid. These tools give grid managers real-time visibility, boost reliability, and help integrate more clean energy onto the grid quickly and affordably.
