Blackstone is Coming for New Mexico's Power

Blackstone is a massive private equity firm worth $176B, known for extracting value fast and leaving companies in bankruptcy.

Now they’re trying to buy PNM, but it’s not a done deal.

PNM’s parent company has filed an application with the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission for approval of Blackstone’s $11.5B takeover. That kicked off a formal review process, including public hearings scheduled for May 4–15, 2026 (via Zoom).

That means the public can weigh in and regulators haven’t signed off yet.
