New Mexico: official power outage sources
New Mexico has three investor-owned utilities: PNM, El Paso Electric and Xcel Energy (Southwestern Public Service). About 19 electric cooperatives serve much of the rural state, and seven city utilities include Farmington, Gallup and Los Alamos County. The Navajo Tribal Utility Authority serves the Navajo Nation. The New Mexico Public Regulation Commission oversees the investor-owned utilities and lists the cooperatives.
