          The claimant owns all of the issued and outstanding common stock of its principal operating subsidiary, TNMP, an electric public utility corporation. Texas-New Mexico Power Company (TNMP) serves approximately 238,000 customers in a total of 85 municipalities and adjacent rural areas in Texas and New Mexico. TNMP is a subsidiary of TNP Enterprises, Inc., a public utility holding company exempt under Section 3(a)(1) of the Act.

          Within Texas, TNMP is a regulated public utility engaged in the generation, supply, transmission, distribution and sale of electric energy. TNMP serves 76 municipalities in Texas, primarily smaller-to-medium sized communities. Only two of the Texas municipalities that TNMP serves have populations exceeding 50,000. The largest municipalities within Texas served by TNMP are Texas City, Lewisville, and League City. The Texas service territory is found in three areas of the state:

• 56 communities in North and Central Texas extending from Lewisville, near Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, along the Red River, and south and west of Fort Worth.

• 14 communities in southeastern Texas, between Houston and Galveston and to the south of Houston. The largest municipality in this area is Texas City.

• Six communities in far west Texas between Midland and El Paso.

          Within New Mexico, TNMP is a regulated public utility engaged in the supply, transmission, distribution and sale of electric energy. It owns transmission and distribution lines within New Mexico and serves 9 communities in southern New Mexico. The largest of these communities are Silver City, Alamogordo and Ruidoso. The New Mexico region is based at Silver City.

          TNMP and its subsidiaries own generating facilities located in Robertson County, Texas, which is in the central part of Texas. The generating facilities consist of two 150 MW, circulating fluidized bed units, and currently use lignite as the fuel source. TNMP also has a transmission line connecting these units to a major transmission grid in Texas. TNMP sells electricity from these units solely within Texas. Neither the claimant nor any of its subsidiaries own transmission lines that deliver or receive electricity at the border of Texas.
