Investing in Cleaner Energy Choices
Jeff Burks - Director, Environmental Sustainability

Excerpt from Program:
"In 2003, PNM's Board of Directors adopted a new environmental policy to move the company to a new level of environmental performance and build its utility business around a more sustainable business model. PNM Resources began to execute this policy by setting measurable five-year environmental goals, including one that challenged the company to become known as a national utility leader in the promotion and provision of renewable resources. This presentation will explore what PNM is doing to include renewable energy in its generation portfolio and what renewable energy programs are being developed by the company to support customer interest in distributed renewable solar energy systems."
