New Mexico's Energy
Where electricity is generated, where it's actually used, and how they differ. A county's power plants are not what powers it: electricity flows across the grid, so a county with only a solar plant still runs on the shared statewide mix of wind, imports, gas, coal and solar, and a third of New Mexico's power is imported from out of state entirely. Start with the net exporter / importer lens, then open a county to see what it makes versus what it uses. A planning-level view, not a utility operations tool.
Energy tools
Beyond the map — hands-on tools for two audiences: residents making sense of their own bills, and planners modeling New Mexico's energy future.
Bill Detective
Got a bill that looks wrong? Bill Detective reads it line by line, compares it against typical homes, and tells you in plain language whether it's off — and what to do next.
Analyze my bill →Independent analysis tool — estimates and guidance only, not a guarantee, and not financial, legal, or professional advice. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any utility. Always verify against your official bill and contact your provider before acting.
Energy Siting Simulator
Drag power sites onto New Mexico’s map and watch, in real time, how new generation changes each county’s balance, the statewide clean-power share, and reliance on out-of-state supply. Built on the real 2024 grid — a decision-support tool for where and what to build.
Open the simulator →Planning-level scenario tool. Outputs are estimates from stated assumptions — not forecasts, guarantees, or investment, financial, or engineering advice. Validate against interconnection and feeder studies before relying on results.
