7. 3. 3 billion yuan of Mexico will replace coal with photovoltaic energy storage projects

Solar photovoltaic net news: according to the report, the utility public service companies (manufacturers new Mexico PNM） Apply for a few days ago, plans to shut down its in SAN Juan power station in 2022 all the coal-fired power plant, and submitted to the state regulators four different alternatives.

new Mexico public service companies ( PNM） Submitted by a user of the lowest cost solution is to build a 280 mw natural gas peak shaving in SAN Juan power station facilities, a 350 mw solar power generation facilities and an installed capacity of 130 mw battery energy storage system. The company is expected to, need to invest in 7. 3. 3 billion dollars to build new power generation facilities. And points out that the solution compared with coal-fired power plants has been operating, the carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced by 62% in 2023, a month for each home users save money. $11.

the company spokesman said Ray Sandoval, new Mexico, public service companies ( PNM） With two-thirds of the shares, SAN Juan power station and minority shareholders, including the Tucson electric power company, to reach an agreement, closed in June 2022 the remaining coal-fired power generating units. The company will work with the new Mexico public oversight board ( PRC） Implement a long process of stakeholders, to determine the alternative plan.

the company has taken the move was part of the reason for the march through the state of the energy transfer bill, the bill would make new Mexico to clean energy by 2050 with 100% of the target. The plan provided by the company can keep the power system reliability, reduce carbon emissions, and save costs for our customers.

new Mexico public service companies ( PNM） Simulates a single scene, if only the use of renewable energy electricity line dollars. The company also released a plan to do not use natural gas power plants, but need to deploy a battery energy storage system, the installed capacity of 410 mw coal-fired power plants in the SAN Juan is turned off in the first year, a month for each family users save about 0. $5 bills.

Sandoval said, & other; We know that there are some model is feasible. But we have to deploy 410 mw battery energy storage system. ”

he said that the future battery prices will continue to fall, longer service life, this is advantageous to the deployment of more large capacity of energy storage systems, more conducive to development of public utilities.

and he said, utility companies, consumers and climate advocates can agree on one aspect is at present, the most expensive one option is to continue to operate the power station of coal-fired units of SAN Juan. But the company's integrated resource plan approved last December, coal-fired power plants will be phased out by 2031.

in the case of the renewable energy portfolio, the company already has 140 mw of wind power resources for approval. The company plans in the SAN Juan deployment another capacity of 20 mw solar power generation facilities, to replace the closed two coal-fired power generating units in 2017, it is part of the SAN Juan alternative power stations.

the resources in the western United States advocate clean energy plan, deputy director Steve Michel said in a statement, under the condition of the lowest cost, if a new installed capacity of 280 mw gas power generation facilities, and by 2023 for public service companies (new Mexico PNM） Customers save more than $8000, all this is according to the recently passed through the energy transition act.

in order to make the families affected by close coal-fired power plants to a smooth transition, new Mexico, public service companies ( PNM） Requires government allowed the state to issue 3. $6. 1 billion & other; The energy transition bond & throughout; , the bonds must be its customers to pay, so that the company to repay the debt, retirement costs, and provides the employee severance pay and training costs. Sandoval said, & other; In order to let customers more easy to adapt to the transition, we cut the 1. The $0. 9 billion debt. ”

new Mexico public service companies ( PNM） Previously suggested a new installed capacity of 456 mw natural gas power plants to meet the reliability requirements. Climate proponents oppose but the sierra club, etc. , and points out that clean energy is a better choice.

the sierra club, director of the branch of the Rio grande, Camilla Geibelman said in a statement, & other; Entrust the program will provide us with alternative capacity analysis optimal combination of opportunity. ”

the sierra club issued a report in the February, suggest to use cheaper, cleaner energy substitute natural gas power plants, including the deployment of a 300 mw solar power generation facilities, the installed capacity of 180 mw power grid scale energy storage systems, and 19 mw demand response facilities, but the plan does not contain the wind.

　　Geibelman说：“ New Mexico power system already exists a lot of wind power capacity, thus introducing solar power generation facilities can make the power system to achieve diversification. ”
