The NMBC is especially pleased to see that TECO has stated it will cut gas service rates after the transaction is approved. This will amount to $2 million in the first year after acquisition and $4 million thereafter until it can file a rate case, which the company will delay until after July 1, 2017. Additionally, we believe that TECO’s Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) business expertise (in Florida), combined with New Mexico’s abundant energy portfolio, could create the perfect opportunity for TECO to replicate its compressed NGV business in New Mexico. Not only could this mean new business and job opportunities, it could create new demand for natural gas. Because New Mexico receives 30 percent of its general funds from severance taxes, this is yet another potential benefit to the state.
The PRC hearing on this case is scheduled to go well into next week so your support of TECO is needed. If you have not already done so, please sign this petition now.
Rio Rancho mayor’s race: Early voting for the run-off Rio Rancho Mayoral election begins this week. The NMBC encourages Rio Rancho voters to support job growth in private enterprise by electing pro-business candidates who favor open government and who will listen to the whole community, not just special interest groups. Gregg Hull has communicated with the NMBC and attended our last BASH (Business and Social Hour). His vision to develop Rio Rancho’s business environment and focus on job creation is right on the mark for what we need from elected officials.
