Every email you sent, call you made, and hearing you attended made a difference. Thank you for everything you did to make this victory possible.
This is a huge win for rural communities across New Mexico. The Local Solar Access Fund will help our small towns, counties, Tribes, school districts, and land grants finally kick off those solar and storage projects they’ve been dreaming about for years. These projects will provide clean, reliable energy to fire stations, schools, water systems, and community centers, ensuring that these essential resources don't lose power when they're needed most. These projects will also save money on energy costs, while supporting job creation and economic development.
NMFA anticipates that applications will open by the end of this calendar year, and we will be actively engaged in the rulemaking process that will define the application process later this year.
