When your electric rate changes, there’s a process behind it. Utility companies don’t simply decide on their own what customers will pay. Proposed changes go through regulatory review, one reason understanding the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission matters.

$240 million equates to a roughly 16 percent rate reduction for PNM customers for a year. Our higher utility costs aren't random. They're shaped by decisions like this one. The PRC's job is to protect the public. Learn more: heyor.ca/fd0tIw

In this second show-cause motion, we're asking the NMPRC to require TXNM and PNM to explain why customers should not receive a $240 million rate credit. A cash infusion of $240 million would greatly benefit PNM and reduce the revenues needed to serve customers.

PNM customers could see lower bills depending on how the PRC handles a $240 million investment connected to the proposed Blackstone-TXNM merger. Earlier this month, Prosperity Works filed a second show-cause motion to the NMPRC on the proposed Blackstone-TXNM merger.

The PRC's decision requiring Blackstone and TXNM Energy to unwind an unlawful $400 million stock transaction wasn't about stopping the acquisition—it was about ensuring the law is followed and shareholders, not ratepayers, bear the cost. Responsible investment starts with accountability.
