N.M. Admin. Code § 17.9.570.2 - SCOPE
A. 17.9.570 NMAC
applies to every electric utility (investor-owned, rural electric cooperative,
municipal, or an entity providing wholesale rates and service) operating within
the state of New Mexico that is subject to the jurisdiction of the New Mexico
public regulation commission as provided by law.
B. It is intended that the obligations of
utilities provided for in 17.9.570 NMAC shall extend to both production and
consumption functions of qualifying facilities irrespective of whether the
production and consumption functions are singly or separately owned. In
situations where the production and consumption functions are separately owned,
the qualifying facility or its operator may elect to enter into the contract
with the utility.
C. All
interconnection contracts between utilities and qualifying facilities existing
at the time 17.9.570 NMAC is adopted shall automatically continue in full force
and effect with no change in rates for the purchase of power from the
qualifying facilities. Any changes made to the existing interconnection
contracts shall be made by mutual agreement and shall conform to the provisions
of 17.9.570 NMAC.
D. Variances
which have been granted by the commission from earlier versions of general
order no. 37 and under 17.9.570 NMAC shall continue in full force and effect
unless the commission specifically rescinds any such variance.
