El Paso Electric Company ("EPE") invites members of the public to participate in the Integrated Resource Plan (“IRP”) facilitated stakeholder process through a series of public meetings. With public participation, EPE will develop its IRP pursuant to the New Mexico Efficient Use of Energy Act and the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission's ("Commission") IRP Rule, 17.7.3 NMAC. EPE's IRP is developed to identify cost-effective demand-side and supply-side electricity resources to serve EPE's customers over the next 20-year planning period.
The IRP will be submitted to the Commission no later than September 2025. Public participation is an important component of the development and implementation of EPE's integrated resource planning in New Mexico. EPE encourages interested members of the public to attend these public meetings to provide public input and commentary, whether as a residential or business customer, or as a representative of a trade, non-profit, neighborhood, shareholder, civic or other group.
The first scheduled meeting will be held virtually via Zoom on February 11, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. MDT. The IRP process will be explained, and additional meeting dates and locations will be set at that time. Prior to each meeting, the presentation for that meeting will be posted on this site.
Meeting invitations for the virtual meetings, meeting presentations, written questions and answers, and other materials relevant to each meeting can be found on the following website: El Paso Electric Company (EPE) – Gridworks .
