Customer-owned generation (net metering)

Net-metered capacity in New Mexico by technology, MW, with installations and energy sold back to the grid
Year	Photovoltaic (MW)	Battery or storage (MW)	Wind (MW)	Other (MW)	All technologies (MW)	Installations	Energy sold back (MWh)

2025	440.6	1.3	0.3	8.3	449.3	67,353	21,237

Before 2023, EIA reported storage paired with photovoltaic inside the photovoltaic group; from 2023, batteries are their own group, paired with photovoltaic or not. Neither is added into photovoltaic here.

Distributed generation that is not net metered

A different arrangement: customer-sited or utility-owned generation that is paid or credited some other way, or not at all. EIA reports it separately, and it is not added to the net metering figures.

Distributed capacity in New Mexico that is not net metered, MW
Year	Photovoltaic	All technologies (MW)

2022	0.8	0.8
2023	1.6	1.6
2024	1.6	1.6
2025	1.6	1.6

We do not restate net metering rules, which change. The rules are with New Mexico Public Regulation Commission · the DSIRE policy database (NC Clean Energy Technology Center)

Community solar

New Mexico has 16 community solar projects serving customers, 69.0 MW-AC in all, in the National Laboratory of the Rockies' list as of September 2026.

Community solar serving customers in New Mexico by who markets the subscriptions, September 2026
Subscriptions marketed by	Projects	Capacity (MW-AC)
Third Party	15	69.0
Utility	1	0.1

In queue: market tracking, not a registry

The laboratory also tracks 131.0 MW-AC as in queue here as of September 2026: awarded, under construction, or likely to come online in the next few years.

Projects in queue change without notice, and many are never built. This figure is kept apart from the capacity serving customers and never added to it.

These counts and capacities are our own sums of the laboratory's project list; its license keeps us from publishing a copy of the list itself. About the dataset
