Power lines are visible as the sun begins to rise Tuesday, Feb.
25, 2025, in Hobbs, New Mexico.

The Public Service Company of New Mexico, or PNM, said it delivered 80% carbon-free electricity in 2025 after investing in solar energy, batteries, and wind. During the daytime, the sun powers fans, air conditioners, and more across the state. In the evening, solar energy stored in batteries keeps the lights on, while the wind turns turbines that meet other electricity needs. (For details, see part one of this story.)
