Electricity Resource Transition and Grid Modernization Program

The goal of ECAM’s Electricity Resource Transition and Grid Modernization Program is to promote functional and operational modifications to New Mexico’s electric grid to meet the state’s ambitious energy transition and emissions reductions goals.

The program supports actions that facilitate the grid’s adaptation to changing loads while enhancing reliability, resilience, and efficiency, and encouraging fair and equitable cost distribution. We accomplish these goals by:

1. regularly providing technical reports and compiling data on energy transition metrics and grid modernization topics and progress;
2. making informed legislative and policy recommendations; and
3. managing a grant program to support technology-focused pilot projects and other relevant research.
