Integrated Resource Plan
NMGC hosted five Integrated Resource Plan public advisory meetings throughout New Mexico in 2019 and early-2020. These meetings were hosted in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and our offices in Anthony, Roswell and Farmington to receive public input, feedback and ask questions about our company-plans.
Our Integrated Resource Plan, that is required by the NMPRC, is a four-year resource and system planning report developed with consideration from the public advisory meetings. The public advisory meetings and subsequent plan provides information on load forecasts, evaluation of existing gas supply and customer demand, identification of resource options, examination of price volatility and general attributes of potential resources, and modeling and risk assumptions leading to the development of a cost-effective portfolio of gas utility resources. See below for our slide deck which was presented at the public advisory meetings, the applicalbe IRP rule and the plan.

NMGC offers a host of cost-effective energy efficiency programs approved by the NMPRC. The program year for these offerings begins on April 1 and ends on March 31 each year. Annually, we file with the PRC both a Measurement and Verification Report and an Energy Efficiency Program Annual Report.
