Northwest New Mexico coal plant to be demolished this week

 

After burning coal and producing electricity in northwest New Mexico since the early 1970s, the former Public Service Company of New Mexico power plant near Farmington will be soon coming down.

Demolition is scheduled for Aug. 24 as the plant, decommissioned in 2022, will be brought to the ground. But cleanup of the entire facility is in question.
