ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — PNM reported that around 50,000 customers experienced power outages Thursday morning in the areas of New Mexico they serve.

According to PNM, more than 100 crew members are working nonstop to restore these outages. A rep for PNM advised that people should be prepared for extended outages.

“Crews are working as safely and quickly as possible to restore power to all customers. A severe winter storm is causing widespread power outages across the state. Some customers may experience prolonged outages due ongoing weather conditions & the large number of outages,” a statement from PNM read.

There is no estimate on when they will be able to restore power. PNM advises you to be cautious and alert for crews who may be working on the side of the road.

If you see a downed power line, they say to stay away and call 888-DIAL-PNM. You can visit this website for information about what to do during an outage.
