A new power line on Corrales’ west side plus electricity outages and other issues are to be discussed when representatives of Public Service Company of New Mexico come before the Village Council February 9.
A new line of power poles would be erected in the Northwest Sector, apparently from Carey Road to Camino Sin Pasada, but Village officials have questioned the need in light of previous PNM promises on reliability when an earlier line was approved.
At council meetings last year, councillors expressed irritation and frustration at continued power outages after they went along with PNM plans for new lines a few years ago that were supposed to resolve capacity concerns.
But that irritability is likely to be tempered by Village officials’ need to negotiate with PNM for acquisition of its property in the roadway corridor for Corrales’ proposed “Access A” out to Highway 528 in the Far Northwest Sector.
Back in October, the Village scheduled a work-study session with PNM’s Carol Radosevich to explore  recent power outages and service reliability.
