New Mexico will establish a statewide community solar program after Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed the bill into law Monday.
Senate Bill 84, known as the Community Solar Act, passed the House and Senate during the 2021 Legislative Session which concluded in March with votes of 44-3 and 27-14, respectively.
It was drafted by New Mexico’s Community Solar Working Group created by a past resolution passed after the Act failed during the 2020 Legislative Session.
Community solar allows electricity customers to opt into a solar power from a shared facility larger than residential solar panels but smaller than a utility-scale solar farm.
