Relocating to our area?

Here is what you need to become a member of Central New Mexico Electric Cooperative, Inc. and connect an existing service in your name:

• Completed membership application click here for that form
• Valid photo ID
• Documents in your name for the property you are wanting to transfer or connect (purchase documents, rental or lease agreement, deed, etc.)
• Letter of credit from a previous utility such as electric, water, sewer, or gas
• Deposits are waived for excellent letters of credit or with a satisfactory soft credit check
• If a deposit is needed, it will be calculated on the past usage of the individual property, please contact us for a deposit quote
• The meter number from the property is very helpful to ensure we are connecting the correct location for you
• We charge a $50.00 transfer/connect fee on the first bill
• Connects and transfers are completed on the next business day after receiving all necessary documentation unless the member specifies a different future date

The completed membership application, property documents, letter of credit, and photo ID copies can be brought into either office location, faxed to 505-832-0946 or emailed to info@cnmec.org.  Please be sure to include a contact phone number so a member service representative can reach you should they have any questions or need additional information.
