Energy Efficiency Programs for Texas

Beginning in 2002, Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) began to roll out new energy efficiency programs in the Texas portion of its distribution service territory. These programs offer incentives for the installation of a wide range of energy efficiency measures, and are designed to help TNMP achieve its energy efficiency goal.

In 2010, TNMP is offering targeted energy efficiency programs for residential and commercial customers in its Texas distribution service territory. By offering a comprehensive set of programs, TNMP is ensuring that customers in all classes have access to energy efficiency services.
