1. A+ for Energy ® Energy Educator Training Conferences Sponsored by BP, Presented in Partnership with The NEED Project and NREL The New Mexico Energy Story

2. Population 2,000,000 Land Mass 121,355 square miles Major Industries: Petroleum, Natural Gas, non-energy mineral mining, Agriculture New Mexico has EVERYTHING - renewables, nonrenewables and an innovative spirit.

3. The New Mexico Energy Story Natural Gas production - 10% of the U.S. total The Permian Basin holds 3 of the 100 largest oil fields in the U.S. The Permian Basin is the largest field of proved natural gas in the U.S.

4. New Mexico Oil Production began in 1920s 50 million barrels produced 705 million barrels in reserves Lea County and Eddy County lead production 20,366 active wells 23,000 citizens supported by NM’s oil and gas industry

5. New Mexico Oil Oil and natural gas revenues and royalties have provided as much as 87% to the New Mexico General fund 4 th is proven oil reserves 4 th in oil production 40 th in petroleum consumption

6. New Mexico Natural Gas Natural gas has been produced in New Mexico for over 90 years. New Mexico natural gas is used for electricity generation and manufacturing. 3 rd in Natural gas production (behind Texas and Oklahoma) 1 st in CBM production (San Juan Basin) 41,634 natural gas wells 1,609,223 million cubic feet of gas produced annually San Juan County Ranked 1 st and Rio Arriba ranked 2 nd New Mexico is 30 th in natural gas consumption

7. New Mexico Coal Leads all NM commodities for product value, payroll, and revenue generation Largest reserves in McKinley, San Juan, and Cibola Counties and the San Juan Basin 3 rd in recoverable coal reserves 12 th in coal production with 25,913 (1,000 short tonnes) Coal represents 38% of total energy consumption in New Mexico 28 th in coal consumption Generates 90% of New Mexico electricity

8. New Mexico Energy Map

9. New Mexico Electricity 7,000 MW of Electricity Generated 70% at two power stations – Four Corners and San Juan California and Arizona utilities own 68% of these 2 stations 50% of electricity generated in NM is used in other states 90% coal, 8 % natural gas, 1.9% Wind, and.4 hydropower

10. New Mexico Uranium New Mexico has no nuclear power stations, but provides storage for transuranic waste at WIPP in Carlsbad $28,078,000 is spent annually in New Mexico on nuclear physics research and development. 2 nd in uranium reserves behind Wyoming No uranium production since 2002 (recent permit application for McKinley) Grants uranium belt – 350 million tons of yellow cake

11. New Mexico Solar 2 nd in solar potential Areas in Albuquerque and Las Cruces have strongest potential for solar capacity Significant solar research at Sandia and Los Alamos National Labs NM programs to install solar on state buildings, schools Tax credits and rebates available for photovoltaics and solar thermal (hot water)

12. New Mexico Wind 12 th in wind potential 8 th in wind production Significant production of over 487 MW of generation from: New Mexico Wind Energy Center (204 – DeBaca and Quay) Caprock Wind Ranch (80 – Quay) San Juan Mesa Wind (120 in Roosevelt) Llano Estacado (2.6 – Curry) Aragonne Mesa (90 – Santa Rosa)

13. New Mexico Biomass, Geothermal, and Hydro New Mexico has abundant agricultural capability for capture of biomass resources – dairy farms and forests. No water for bioenergy crops. Geothermal resources – low temperature readily available – but mainly used for tourism purposes. 87 MW of hydropower produced: –30 MW Navajo (Farmington), 24MW Elephant Butte (Sierra), 15 MW Abiquiu (Los Alamos), and other smaller hydro

14. The New Mexico Energy Story Bright Past, Brighter Future Efficient Use of Energy Act – $20 Million/year State Energy Agencies must purchase 10% of electricity from renewables Consumption declining in some sectors. Industrial (2224 TBTU) is highest consumption followed by transportation (219 TBTU) 24 th in consumption per capita Total consumption 675 TBTUs (23,340,000 gallons gasoline/year) –Residential 108 TBTUS –Commercial 122 TBTUS –Industrial 224 TBTUS –Transportation 219 BTUs New Mexico, unlike many states, has a diverse portfolio of energy resources.
