Tuesday, PNM said it reached a contract with First Solar (FSLR) to construct 22 megawatts AC of utility scale photovoltaic solar power plants in New Mexico. First Solar said it would construct the facilities using its advanced PV panels at five separate sites within PNM's service territory. The sites would be chosen based on cost, availability and suitability of land; the quality of a site's solar potential; environmental and permitting considerations; and level of local support.
