Keep Energy Affordable for New Mexico Families


Keep Energy Affordable for New Mexico Families
The Issue
Every New Mexico family deserves the peace of mind that comes with affordable, reliable energy. From heating our homes in the winter to cooking dinner for our families or roasting chile in the fall, natural gas is part of who we are. It keeps our communities warm, our small businesses running, and our way of life affordable. That’s why Bernhard Capital Partners (BCP) is stepping forward to invest in New Mexico Gas Company (NMGC) and keep our energy future strong, local, and affordable.
This isn’t just a corporate transaction, it’s a commitment to New Mexicans. A commitment to protect household budgets, preserve local jobs, and invest in our communities for the long haul.
Here’s what this means for New Mexico families:
- $22.4 million in direct bill credits to customers.
- No rate increases until at least 2028, saving customers up to $40 million.
- $7 million in financial assistance for low-income households.
- Hundreds of local jobs protected and new ones created, with all NMGC employees guaranteed continued employment.
- Headquarters, leadership, and decision-making stay in New Mexico.
- Modernized systems and upgraded infrastructure to ensure dependable, safe service.
- $10 million invested in community and economic development, including renewable energy and workforce training programs.
These commitments total nearly $87 million in direct benefits that go straight back to New Mexico customers, workers, and communities!
Why It Matters
This sale helps keep energy affordable, protects local jobs, and invests in our communities — all while maintaining the safe, reliable service New Mexicans count on.
The New Mexico Public Regulation Commission will hold evidentiary hearings beginning November 3, 2025. Now is the time to make your voice heard.
Add your name today to support approval of the NMGC and together, we can protect affordable energy for every New Mexico family.
