State of New Mexico Attorney General's Office, Consumer and Economic Crimes Division energy unit. Period of the Grant, October 1977-September 1980
This report outlines the last three years of effort and achievement by New Mexico's Office of Consumer Services, which has been funded during that period largely by Department of Energy funds. As the following narratives reveal, the focus of our Office's efforts, the resources we have brought to bear, and the successes that have resulted, have contributed to major changes in our State's regulation of investor-owned electric utilities. The investment of several hundreds of thousands of dollars in the establishment of our Office has not only saved ratepayers many millions of dollars in unneeded utility rates, but have also promoted policies consistent with conservation, load management, fair distribution of costs, and more intensive regulatory scrutiny. We believe that the public interest of New Mexico has benefited immensely from our federal grant funds during this transitional period, and that future utility regulatory efforts are likely to prove much less costly because of the groundwork that has been laid these past few years.
