20 years ago almost all of New Mexico's electricity generation came from coal and gas.
In April of this year, that share dropped to 31%. This was the lowest share ever recorded, as wind and solar surged to 69%.
April 2006: 94%
April 2016: 78%
April 2026: 31%

ERCOT is setting an all-time demand record today at 91 GW, which is +17 GW vs the summer peak in 2021. But over the same period, maximum solar output is +27 GW. Add in the massive battery buildout, and wholesale power prices are actually lower now than they were 5 years ago.
