S&P: PNM Resources unchanged

Standard & Poor's said that the announcement that EnergyCo., a joint venture between PNM Resources Inc. (BBB/negative/A-3) and Cascade Investment LLC (not rated), has entered into an agreement to acquire a 614 MW cogeneration plant from Dynegy Inc. (B/stable/B-2) for about $470 million, will not immediately affect the rating or outlook on PNM Resources.

The transaction, which still requires regulatory approval, is expected to close in third-quarter 2007 and will be funded with a combination of debt raised at EnergyCo. and equity contributions from the joint venture partners, the agency said.

According to S&P, PNM Resources had previously announced that it will transfer its Twin Oaks plant, valued at about $554 million, to EnergyCo.
