PNM Resources’ New Mexico utility, PNM, the N.M. Environment Department and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency agreed to pursue a revised plan that could provide a new path forward for San Juan Generating Station, or SJGS, to comply with federal visibility rules, the company said. The terms agreed to would result in the retirement of SJGS Units 2 and 3 by the end of 2017, and the installation of selective non-catalytic reduction technology on the remaining two units in early 2016. The terms of the plan primarily focus on how SJGS would meet the regional haze rule, but also include a natural gas plant to be built in the Four Corners region to partially replace the capacity from the retired coal units. Detailed replacement power strategies would be finalized separately from the haze agreement. The company believes adequate replacement power alternatives will be available to meet PNM’s remaining generation needs and ensure reliability. The terms of the non-binding agreement would require several additional actions before becoming final, PNM said. | |
