01 — ABOUT US
We are rewiring the Land of Enchantment
Born in Albuquerque in 2018, Green Grid New Mexico started as three engineers and a pueblo youth council with a trailer full of second-hand panels. Today we are a nonprofit cooperative network modernizing the grid from the bottom up.
New Mexico has the second-best sun in America — yet too many rural and tribal communities face outages, high bills and aging lines. We fix that with locally owned solar gardens, resilient microgrids for clinics and schools, and open data for a transparent grid. No distant utility monopoly. Just neighbors powering neighbors.

Our creed: Every rooftop a power plant. Every community a grid operator. Energy as a commons, not a commodity.
02 — WHAT WE DO
Solutions for desert resilience
From adobe homes to alfalfa farms, we design systems for heat, dust, monsoon and distance. Built for New Mexico, by New Mexicans.

06 — QUESTIONS
FAQ answered
Do I need a roof or to own my home?
No. 70% of our members are renters or live in apartments, adobe casitas or mobile homes. You subscribe to a share of a nearby solar garden and get credits on your PNM or El Paso Electric bill. No panels on your roof, no credit check for LMI plans.
What happens during an outage or monsoon?
Standard grid-tied members ride through like normal. If you are on a microgrid hub (clinics, schools, designated homes with batteries), you island automatically and stay powered 24-72h. Our batteries pre-charge before storms using weather AI.
How much can I really save?
Average 27% in 2025. Example: $135/mo bill → ~$98/mo. LMI and tribal members with full subsidies save 60-90%. No enrollment fee, cancel with 30 days notice.
Are you a utility? Who owns the panels?
We are a nonprofit cooperative. Each garden is owned 51%+ by local subscribers + pueblo/county trust after year 7. Profits stay in New Mexico for maintenance, scholarships and new gardens.
How do farms and pueblos partner?
We lease land at 2x grazing rates, build agrivoltaics to keep farming, provide paid training and transfer ownership. Contact our partnerships team — response within 3 days.
