The grid is a large system of interconnected power plants and transmission infrastructure that allows electricity to be moved from one state to another. PNM is a part of the Western grid, which connects 14 states, two Canadian provinces and portions of one Mexican state. The purpose of the grid is to increase reliability for customers by allowing power to be shipped where it might be needed during an emergency or large-scale power failure.
