PNM could conduct Public Safety Power Shutoff (Shutoff) in some areas of Santa Fe County. This is a proactive measure to reduce the risk of power lines becoming an ignition source. For more information, visit PNM's wildfire safety page.
What Does This Mean?
It means residents and businesses should prepare for possible disruptions during high wind events.
How to Stay Updated
Updates on a shutoff and any related impacts will be provided through primarily PNM Alerts. We encourage our residents to also sign up for Alert Santa Fe.
How to Prepare
PNM has shared preparedness recommendations at PNM Wildfire Safety. If you are in an area that may be affected, consider taking the following steps:
- Ensure personal vehicles are fully fueled or charged.
- Charge your cell phone and consider having a backup power source.
- Stock up on adequate water and non-perishable, easy-to-prepare meals.
We appreciate your patience and understanding. While it may be an inconvenience, this measure is being taken to help prevent catastrophic wildfires.

We ask our residents to keep in mind, The Office of Emergency Management, the Santa Fe County Fire Department, or other Santa Fe County offices have no control over when an PSPS may occur. Please consult with your local power company if you have any questions regarding PSPS Public Safety Power Shutoffs. Thank you.
