    Understanding your bill for businesses

    Understanding your bill is a great step in identifying ways you can save energy and money. Your bill can provide insights you can act on, so it pays to know what is on there in order to identify ways to save.

    Select your Bill type to understand your specific bill. You can find your bill type by looking on the back of your bill and find the code in the rate* column, see image below.

    * If your bill shows a rate different than what is listed, please give us a call or go to the Electricity Rates and Riders page for more information.

    01 - Meter Read

    This box reflects the type of reading that we obtained from the meter. Actual means the meter reading was obtained in person by a meter reader. Estimated means that for some reason a meter reader was unable to read your meter. Common reasons for an estimated reading include weather, access issues such as locked gates, dogs, or vegetation. Under the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission rules, PNM may only estimate the meter reading two months in a row, at most.

These credits come from the savings of exiting the coal plant.

    13 - Palo Verde Regulatory Credit

    The Palo Verde nuclear station leases were included in the rates from the 2016 rate change request. The leases expired in the last couple of years.

    13 - Rkva Reading

    Reactive Power (Rkva) occurs when appliances that have certain components to store power (like a coil or capacitor) release some of the power back into the grid. Alternating current is delivered by pulsing through the power lines rather than being continuously delivered. An appliance that stores power will store power with one pulse and release some of it back into the grid with the next pulse. The power that is released back is unusable and PNM has to purchase and maintain specialized equipment to handle the extra power that flows back into our grid. If customers have appliances that cause a lot of reactive power to be released into our system, they are charged a supplemental fee to help keep the costs of repairing and designing our distribution system fair. PNM allows a reactive power return of 48% of a customer's billable (peak) demand. Customers are charged $0.27 per unit for any reactive power over the allowable amount.
