Energy Works - November 2024
National Native American Heritage Month
November marks Native American Heritage Month, offering a valuable opportunity to explore, appreciate, and celebrate the heritage, customs, and contributions of the Indigenous People of New Mexico.
This nationwide event, observed every November, holds particular importance as it allows us to honor the enduring cultures and indispensable contributions of Indigenous communities across the United States. This month is a time to recognize their rich heritage but also to acknowledge the historical challenges faced by Native Americans, thus promoting awareness, and understanding.
PNM recognizes the significant Native American population and tribal communities we serve and remain dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. PNM actively supports Indigenous causes, investing in educational initiatives, and collaborating with local tribes on energy and environmental projects. Through these endeavors, PNM aims to foster respectful relationships with the 23 New Mexico Tribes, while enhancing awareness and appreciation for their traditions and roles in society.

PNM Day of Service Recap
PNM Giving Back to our Community
This past September, more than 500 PNM employees across New Mexico spent part of the day volunteering at more than 30 of our nonprofit customer organizations. During PNM's annual Day of Service, employees pitched in to help with painting, pollinating, food packaging, and much more. Volunteering is one of our values, and we are grateful to be able to help nonprofit customers in this way.

PNM files Rate Request
PNM filed the 2025 Rate Request with the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (Case No. 24-00089-UT).
Visit our site if you want more information on the PNM 2025 Rate Request, including the customer notice.
Budget Billing
Budget Billing gives you more predictable energy bills by balancing seasonal highs and lows, taking the guesswork out of your monthly bill. Once signed up, you'll pay the same amount every month ¿ making budgeting and planning much easier.
You still pay for the energy you use, but your total costs are spread evenly throughout the year. Budget Billing amounts are evaluated twice a year, usually in February and August, and may go up or down based on your actual usage and updated energy costs.
Space Heater Safety Tips
Stay safe and warm this fall with PNM
Happy Fall! As it starts to get cooler, you may consider using a space heater to warm your home. At PNM your safety is our top priority. If you choose to use one, please consider these safety tips:
- Choose heaters with automatic shut-off features in case they tip over or overheat.
- Don't use extension cords or power strips. They can overheat and could cause fires.
- Check your heater for any signs of damage or wear and tear before each use.
- Keep It Clear: Place your heater on a flat, stable surface, and keep it at least three feet away from anything flammable.
- Familiarize yourself with the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines.
From all of us at PNM, we hope you have a safe and warm winter.
