The construction was spread over three months in 2014. Located West of Rio Rancho and north of Northern Boulevard on Encino Road<strong>, <\/strong>Sandoval County\u2019s first solar center came with a $16 million price tag and produces about $152,000 new tax revenue for the county.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The 6.4-megawatt solar energy facility encompasses 80 acres with around 75,590 pedestal-mounted solar panels, capable of generating enough energy for 2,450 consumers. The panels are equipped with mechanisms that allow them to track the sun as it travels across the sky. The collected energy will be used not only for Sandoval County\u2019s residents, but for PNM\u2019s user base.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">PNM has invested $270 million on solar power in New Mexico and is working on adding more.
