                  PNM Wins 80 Megawatt San Diego Navy Contract

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., January 29, 2003- PNM Resources (NYSE:PNM) utility subsidiary
PNM has been awarded a two-year contract to supply 80 megawatts of power to U.S.
Navy facilities in San Diego, California. The sale is expected to gross $42
million annually in revenues for the company.

PNM expects to meet the contract requirements from its own generation resources
and with power purchased from other suppliers. The company has a total net
generation capacity of 1,733 MW, including a 390 MW share in the Palo Verde
Nuclear Generating Station in Wintersburg, Arizona.

The contract, which runs through March 2005, was won from the Western Area Power
Administration through a competitive bid process. PNM began delivering power
under the contract January 1, 2003.

"PNM's long experience in the Western wholesale market, together with the
company's financial stability and access to low-cost, reliable power from Palo
Verde and from its coal-fired assets in northwestern New Mexico, positions us to
increase our presence in California," said Eddie Padilla, PNM senior vice
president for power marketing and development. "We believe there is a
significant opportunity for PNM in the region."

PNM, the principal subsidiary of PNM Resources, provides natural gas service to
441,000 gas customers and electric utility service to 378,000 customers in New
Mexico. The company also sells power on the wholesale market in the Western U.S.
PNM Resources stock is traded primarily on the NYSE under the symbol PNM.
