ALL RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS ARE NOT ALIKE.
We are in the process of updating information on this website as a result of the revised AES application to the County. Thank you for your patience and understanding, as we wish to provide the most current and accurate information.

AND RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE A CHOICE.
here's the choice we're facing...
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.
