Description
Description | The Southwestern Public Service Company, a subsidiary of Xcel Energy, has proposed a series of eight new power facilities including two natural gas plants, two solar, two wind, and two battery systems to meet energy needs in West Texas and southeast New Mexico. The proposal seeks to qualify the natural gas plants as zero-carbon resources by offsetting carbon emissions elsewhere, leveraging a loophole in New Mexico's Energy Transition Act. The project aims to supply electricity to the public grid including oil and gas production in the Permian Basin area. |
