Introduced Text

Establishes virtual power plant programs for electric utilities in New Mexico.

The Virtual Power Plant Act mandates electric public utilities to implement virtual power plant programs, which aggregate distributed energy resources to provide grid services. The Public Regulation Commission is tasked with promulgating rules for these programs, including setting performance requirements and compensation. Utilities must file tariffs for these programs, allowing distributed energy resource owners or end-users to lock in compensation levels for five years.
