Using a competitive bidding process, PNM identified a joint venture between Albuquerque-based Affordable Solar and GranSolar to build two of the centers and Juwi Solar to build the other two facilities.
PNM estimates the total cost at $79m. It is evaluating multiple sites in the central part of the state.
"We believe our proposal will help us provide dependable power cost-effectively while reducing water use and carbon emissions at power plants," says PNM Planning and Resource Director Pat O'Connell.
