The state legislature in 2007 began requiring that investor-owned utilities such as Public Service Company of New Mexico generate 20% of their total retail sales to New Mexico customers from renewable energy resources by 2020. The standard will gradually rise to that level from a current base of 6%.
New Mexico's 19 rural electric cooperatives won't fall under the renewable energy requirement until 2015, although some are complying voluntarily. In 2015, cooperatives will be required to get 5% of their electricity from renewable sources; that goes to 10% in 2020.
