| Next update | Not stated in the source. Unverified. We could not fully confirm this from a primary document; see the note. Check the source before using it. Note: Rate No. 12 states no update cycle. Its rates are built from the preceding calendar year's ELAP prices, which implies a yearly refiling (current table under Advice Notice No. 649). The annual-update sentence in 17.9.570.11(C) NMAC applies to schedules filed before a utility's method tariff is approved under 17.9.570.11(B)(1), so it may not govern PNM's current method.
