Slide 3: Project Overview and Purpose
SUBSTATION PROJECT PROJECT OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE PNM is proposing a new substation in far Northeast Albuquerque to maintain reliable power and meet growing energy demand. The existing substations serving your area are reaching their capacity. This project is crucial for preventing future power outage
Slide 4: Why This Project Is Needed
WHY THIS PROJECT IS NEEDED Many far Northeast Albuquerque customers receive electricity from existing substations that do not have the capacity to serve the ongoing growth in the area. The problem is also increasing. Average energy demand at nearby substations continues to exceed the capacity of the

Slide 6: Distribution Feeders with Load Growth from 2021 to 2024
DISTRIBUTION FEEDERS WITH LOAD GROWTH FROM 2021 TO 2024 The colored areas on the map are the locations of load growth from 2021 to 2024. The load increase measured in each area is shown in kilovolt-amperes (kVA). For reference, about 100 kVA can serve 10-14 average sized homes. SLIDE 6 | SPRING-SUMM
