Martinez also urged people to curb electrical use to prevent blackouts and allow compressors to function so the state can get natural gas supplies. "The use of electricity and the use of natural gas are not isolated; one is impacting the other," she said. The state's largest electrical utility, Public Service Company of New Mexico, asked customers in the southern New Mexico communities of Alamogordo, Tularosa and Ruidoso to reduce their use of electricity because a transmission line serving the area was over capacity. The overload occurred because a second line into the area was out of service, but PNM said crews were repairing that line.
