AES Project

A Global energy company called AES has proposed to build a utility-scale lithium-ion battery facility just outside the city of Santa Fe in the center of three residential communities. This facility would pose a significant risk of fire and toxic chemicals, threatening our air, water, and our homes.

A Smarter Path

CEC believes there is a better, smarter way to provide renewable solar energy to the county through a decentralized microgrid system. This would use current New Mexico companies and local resources to build a safer, sustainable and more reliable energy system whose benefits would go to residents and local businesses rather than to the coffers of an out-of-state corporation.
