FERC Wholesale Transmission
High wind and solar energy potential in New Mexico has increased the demand for
wholesale transmission capacity from renewable developers
•
•
New Mexico has limited available transmission capacity, combined with resource scarcity
across the Western US, leading to increased short-term network transmission rates
New renewable development requires FERC wholesale transmission rate base investment
