The New Mexico Supreme Court struck down a surcharge designed to compensate utilities for electricity conservation, saying that the Public Regulation Commission did not apply a cost-benefit analysis to the rule.

Consumers will not receive rebates for the surcharge.
PRC Commissioner Jason Marks, who opposed the rule, said, “We need a rule that is legal and is fair to the customers and to the utilities. The rule that we had before wasn’t fair to customers.
