EDDY230 to AMRAD345 Direction Points of Receipt: Eddy County 230 kV Bus Points of Delivery: Amrad 345 kV Bus


Existing Transmission Commitments None A technical investigation assessment was completed in 2006 on the Eddy County HVDC converter station to identify all components that could impact the reliability of the converter station due to age, condition, availability of spare parts, cost, or obsolesce. Based on this assessment major equipment components have reached the end of their respective useful life. In addition, more recently the converter station has not had a high availability track record which has raised concerns about the ongoing reliability of the station. Based on these facts, PNM will only be posting non-firm transmission service for this path.

Existing Transmission Commitments None A technical investigation assessment was completed in 2006 on the Eddy County HVDC converter station to identify all components that could impact the reliability of the converter station due to age, condition, availability of spare parts, cost, or obsolesce. Based on this assessment major equipment components have reached the end of their respective useful life. In addition, more recently the converter station has not had a high availability track record which has raised concerns about the ongoing reliability of the station. Based on these facts, PNM will only be posting non-firm transmission service for this path.
