Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously reported on PNM Resources, Inc.’s (“PNMR”) Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on January 2, 2019, on December 31, 2018, PNMR’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Public Service Company of New Mexico (“PNM”) submitted a filing to the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (“NMPRC”) indicating that PNM expects to retire its share of SJGS (subject to further NMPRC approval) after the current coal supply agreement that serves San Juan Generating Station (“SJGS”) expires in mid-2022. In its December 31, 2018 filing, PNM indicated that it anticipates it will have sufficient information by the second quarter of 2019 to submit a consolidated filing to the NMPRC requesting approval of the abandonment of PNM’s share of SJGS in 2022 and for replacement generation capacity.

On January 30, 2019, the NMPRC approved an order initiating a proceeding to address the abandonment of PNM’s share of SJGS in 2022. The order requires PNM to submit an abandonment filing to the NMPRC by March 1, 2019.

While PNM is continuing to review the order, PNM expects to ask the NMPRC to reconsider its decision. PNM believes that it has provided both timely and transparent communication with regard to the potential shut down of SJGS, and that a requirement to submit an abandonment filing by March 1, 2019 is premature for many reasons, as presented in previous NMPRC filings. In addition, there are several pieces of draft legislation that may impact the energy policy in the state that are being proposed to the New Mexico State Legislature, including the potential “Energy Transition Act” bill that, if enacted, would support efforts to transition New Mexico’s energy resources away from coal-fired generation and/or would increase electric generation from renewable resources in New Mexico.
