Attention New Mexico Solar Market Development Tax Credit Applicants

EMNRD is no longer accepting 2022 SMDTC applications. For projects completed in tax year 2022 (January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022), the annual funding cap has been reached. Applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Once the tax credit allocation cap has been reached in a given year, we cannot issue additional certificates (NMAC 3.3.14.10C).

EMNRD is not accepting walk-in application drop-offs or walk-in requests for technical assistance. We have installed a secure lockbox outside for application drop-off. Please allow 3-4 weeks for processing of completed applications. Certificates of Eligibility are sent electronically to the email address provided on the application.
