Which power plants in New Mexico are powered by coal?
The three coal-fired plants in New Mexico are the San Juan generating station, operated by Public Service of New Mexico, the Four Corners generating station operated by Arizona Public Service, and the Escalante generating station, operated by Tri-State Generation & Transmission Association (see figures above). Coal from the San Juan mine supplies the San Juan generating station. Coal from the Navajo mine is used by the Four Corners generating station. The Lee Ranch mine supplies the Escalante station.
