Public Invited To PRC Co-Op Hearing The Public Regulation Commission will hold a public hearing regarding Central New Mexico Electric Cooperative Advice Notice 54 and Rate 25 at the Moriarty Civic Center on Wednesday at 4 p.m.
The commissioners will also listen to feedback on CNME's request for approval of continued use of its fuel and purchased power cost adjustment clause.
“We'll be there until everyone has an opportunity” to speak, said Paul Carbajal, public information officer for the PRC.
Public comments from the upcoming July hearing and from a previous March 19 hearing in Moriarty attended by more than 200 people will be taken into consideration when the commission makes a decision, Carbajal said.
Because so many people showed up at the March hearing, PRC District 2 Commissioner David King promised to hold another hearing in Moriarty at a larger venue, Carbajal said.
On July 15 at 10 a.m. the PRC will hold a more formal proceeding in the investigation of CNME in Marian Hall, 224 East Palace, Santa Fe. The public will not be allowed to comment during that hearing.
