New Mexico’s updated interconnection rules—adopted by the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission on November 30, 2022—represent a major win for New Mexico communities, clean energy developers, and the environment. Interconnection rules determine how technologies that generate or store electricity, like solar PV systems, are reviewed and granted permission to connect safely and reliably to the electric distribution grid.

These improvements to New Mexico’s interconnection policies were shaped substantially by IREC’s regulatory team. They reflect a number of cutting-edge best practices developed under the BATRIES project, a multi-year effort to reduce barriers to energy storage and solar-plus-storage interconnection, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Solar Energy Technologies Office and led by IREC, in partnership with the Electric Power Research Institute, utilities New Hampshire Electric Cooperative and PacifiCorp, the California Solar and Storage Association, the Solar Energy Industries Association, and law firm Shute, Mihaly, & Weinberger, LLP.
