New Mexico utility regulators decided to partially close the state's
largest coal-fired power plant in December, they punted the
controversial discussion of how long the state should rely on coal.
The San Juan Generating Station provides about a third of the state's power. During more than two years of caustic debate, <a href="http://insideclimatenews.org/news/12012016/coal-industry-decline-arch-coal-bankruptcy-federal-land-leases-climate-change">the plant became a battleground</a> <span class="print-footnote">[1]</span> over the state's long-term energy future. Coal formed the center of the controversy.
"This is probably the landmark case for New Mexico," <a href="http://www.nmprc.state.nm.us/commissioners/karen-montoya/">Commissioner Karen Montoya</a> <span class="print-footnote">[2]</span> of the <a href="http://www.nmprc.state.nm.us/">New Mexico Public Regulatory Commission</a> <span class="print-footnote">[3]</span>
told InsideClimate News last spring. "It could determine generation in
New Mexico for years to come." Montoya was part of the majority of
commissioners who voted 4-1 for the deal on Dec. 16.
But even with a deal in hand, that future remains far from
resolved—and New Mexicans remain divided over how long the state should
rely on coal. After an extraordinarily long review, state regulators
essentially punted the major question: whether to shut down the plant
for good and bring far more renewables online. The issue will not be
taken up again until 2018.</p><div class="media media-element-container media-image_left_medium"><figure id="file-266992" class="file file-image file-image-png">

<p>The Sante Fe-based grassroots environmental group New Energy Economy
recently appealed the decision to the state's Supreme Court. The San
Juan plant is a "toxic asset" and keeping it online "is an economic
nightmare," <a href="http://www.newenergyeconomy.org/staff">Mariel Nanasi</a> <span class="print-footnote">[5]</span>, president of New Energy Economy, said to InsideClimate News.
Since 2010, <a href="http://content.sierraclub.org/coal/victories">about 230 coal plants</a> <span class="print-footnote">[6]</span>
have been retired or slated for retirement, according to the Sierra
Club's Beyond Coal campaign. They have been hit with the double-punch of
recent federal coal pollution regulations––including the Clean Power
Plan––and increased competitiveness of natural gas and renewables, such
as wind and solar. New data from the U.S. Department of Energy suggests
2015 was the first year <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-natgas-coal-idUSKCN0UY2LT?feedType=RSS&feedName=environmentNews">natural gas </a> <span class="print-footnote">[7]</span><a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-natgas-coal-idUSKCN0UY2LT?feedType=RSS&feedName=environmentNews">surpassed</a> <span class="print-footnote">[7]</span><a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-natgas-coal-idUSKCN0UY2LT?feedType=RSS&feedName=environmentNews"> coal</a> <span class="print-footnote">[7]</span> as the nation's top source of electricity.
Most of the shutdowns have been old or small coal plants. As the coal
market continues to nosedive, however, operators of large and
middle-aged plants, such as San Juan, which is more than 30 years old,
have contemplated partial or full retirement.
In 2012, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency told San Juan's
owners to reduce the plant's toxic air emissions. At the time, the plant
was among the most polluting power sources in the nation. To bring the
plant into compliance, the federal regulators and the <a href="https://www.pnm.com/">Public Service Company of New Mexico</a> <span class="print-footnote">[8]</span>
(PNM) agreed to partially shut down the plant. PNM filed for state
approval of this plan and a proposal to replace the lost power in
December 2013.
Under the final agreement reached last month, two of the plant's four
units will be retrofitted with emission-reduction technology, and the
remaining two units will be retired by year's end. Doing so will bring
the plant into compliance with a host of federal air standards,
including the Clean Power Plan, which targets greenhouse gas emissions
from power plants.
For PNM, the replacement power includes a 134-megawatt nuclear power
unit. The utility is also building four solar plants with a combined
capacity of 40 megawatts and a natural gas plant with a capacity of at
least 80 megawatts.
The rejiggering of the plant's ownership is perhaps the most controversial element of the deal.
San Juan's nine original owners are staying on through 2017. After
that, four of the owners are leaving as a way to reduce their investment
in coal. Of the remaining owners, only PNM was willing to increase its
stake in the plant. A PNM subsidiary is also joining as a new owner in
2018.
"The evidence that no utility is investing in coal except PNM, does
that not give you pause?" activist Nanasi said in testimony to the
commissioners the day of the December vote.
Another question is how much this deal will cost utility customers.
PNM says the plan will save customers millions of dollars. But <a href="http://nmprc.state.nm.us/commissioners/valerie-espinoza/index.html">Commissioner Valerie Espinoza,</a> <span class="print-footnote">[9]</span>
who cast the lone vote against the deal, says that ratepayers will lose
out. She explained that PNM has filed a separate regulatory case, which
aims to bump rates by more than 16 percent.
Environmental consultants from the Cambridge-based <a href="http://www.synapse-energy.com/">Synapse Energy Economics, Inc.</a> <span class="print-footnote">[10]</span>,
who were hired by New Energy Economy, found numerous mathematical
errors and flawed assumptions in PNM's cost modeling. These findings
were shared with the commissioners during the hearing process but many
of those issues remain unresolved, Jeremy Fisher, a principal associate
at Synapse, said to InsideClimate News.
New Energy Economy cited the alleged inconsistencies in PNM's
modeling, as well as the fact that PNM is increasing its ownership of
the coal plant, as two factors driving its appeal.
Responding to the appeal filing, PNM spokesman Pahl Shipley wrote
InsideClimate News in an email: "The Commission's order is based on the
facts of this case which were examined and debated in a comprehensive,
open process, and is in the best interest of our customers and the
state.
"It is unfortunate that NEE continues to misrepresent the facts by
stating that the order allows PNM's use of 'more coal,' when in fact the
order provides for a significant reduction in the use of coal, and an
increase in the use of cleaner resources, including solar and natural
gas," Shipley added.
The approved deal "is a vast improvement over what was originally proposed," Chairwoman Montoya <a href="http://www.nmprc.state.nm.us/rssfeedfiles/pressreleases/2015-12-16CommissionersAdoptFinalOrderInSanJuanCaseApprovingPNMsApplicationToAbandonTwoUnits.pdf">said in a statement after the December vote</a> <span class="print-footnote">[11]</span>.
"It protects the public interest and reduces environmental pollution
while minimizing economic impacts and keeping utility bills as low as
possible."
The state attorney general's office, which supported the deal, did not respond to InsideClimate News's request for comment.
Even some environmental groups are questioning NEE's appeal. "One of
the things we realized is PNM was not going to shut down this plant as a
result of the case...they have too much money tied up in that plant,"
Steve Michel, chief counsel for the Clean Energy Program at <a href="http://westernresourceadvocates.org/">Western Resource Advocates</a> <span class="print-footnote">[12]</span>, said to InsideClimate News.
But the compromise deal "provides a definitive path to the future
retirement of the plant" as early as 2022, he explained, when the
contracts for the two remaining units are set to expire, as well as
those for the mine supporting the plant. Those contracts will be
evaluated in 2018, Michel said.
The appeal could drag that long, which "seems pointless to me," said
Michel. "We'll be engaged [with the next regulatory case] by then; in
2018, that's our best opportunity for additional closure of that plant."</p></div>

<p>
Recent revelations about the plan to continue burning coal at the San Juan Generating Station have revealed serious financial risks for local ratepayers. Last month Farmington, New Mexico, home of the San Juan Generating Station, announced they were dropping plans to acquire an increased stake in the plant due to the huge costs that would be passed on to the community. The Albuquerque City Council recently adopted a resolution directing the city to withdraw support for PNM’s current proposal. Other New Mexico stakeholders have also pulled away from the agreement to continue PNM’s use of coal at the plant, citing overall uncertainty about San Juan’s operations.</p>
<p>
PNM recently announced that due to an accounting error, the cost estimate for their plan to increase<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://ecowatch.com/2014/12/03/bail-out-big-coal/" style=" box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(67, 146, 65); transition: color 0.2s linear; -webkit-transition: color 0.2s linear; background: transparent;">reliance on dirty coal</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and other expensive fuels has jumped by more than $1 billion, with those costs likely to be passed onto local ratepayers. Given PNM’s recently proposed rate hike that would cost the average New Mexico family $10 a month to fund the utility’s plans to continue burning coal, local utility customers are deeply concerned about the financial impact of PNM’s commitment to coal.

Communities impacted by the San Juan Generating Station are questioning why they should bear the financial burden and risk of sticking with coal on top of the devastating health impacts of living near a coal plant.
“There are moral and ethical issues involved in where we get our energy.

Dr. McNiel, Executive Director of New Mexico Conference of Churches and Advisory Board Member for New Mexico Interfaith Power and Light. “We must move to more renewable energy sources in order to reduce the economic and health consequences of power consumption. Our brothers and sisters who are economically poor and live in the shadows of coal fired power plants suffer the most here in New Mexico and around the world. PNM’s plans to continue burning coal will only continue to threaten them, and that is immoral.”

<p style=" margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">PNM was originally founded in 1917 as the Albuquerque Gas and Electric Company. PNM sold the gas part of the business to Southern Union Gas Company of Dallas in 1949. These sold portions became the Gas Company of New Mexico. In 1985, however, PNM reacquired the Gas Company of New Mexico after Southern Union Gas Company reached a settlement stemming from federal anti-trust litigation. In 1994, both electric and gas operations began serving customers as PNM.
In May,2003, PNM Resources' utility subsidiary PNM was recognized by the American Wind Energy Association's Utility Leadership Award for PNM's role in creation of the New Mexico Wind Energy Center.
