TXNM Energy Reports Record Q3 Profits Driven by Heat Wave in New Mexico
What happened
TXNM Energy reported $163.4 million in GAAP net earnings for the third quarter, a 25% increase compared to the same period last year. This profit increase followed a period of sweltering heat in New Mexico, which led to record demand on the grid. TXNM attributed the jump to higher electric retail load, higher transmission line revenues, and rate relief granted by the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission in a 2025 rate case.
