Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Companies are bringing several high-dollar projects into New Mexico, resulting in Industrial Info's tracking more than $8.1 billion worth of industrial projects presently under construction in the state. Renewable energy projects feature largely in the state's project list, as do other high-tech applications such as pharmaceuticals and semiconductor manufacturing.
Some of the state's largest projects involve wind and solar energy. Undoubtedly the largest project underway in the state, and one of the largest renewable projects in the U.S., is the SunZia Windfarm under construction in New Mexico's Lincoln, San Miguel and Torrance counties, a 3,000-megawatt (MW) behemoth that will use an estimated 900 turbines. Accompanying the windfarm is a transmission line that has seen some pushback for a portion in Arizona from Native American tribes but was ultimately successful in a court challenge. Engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm Blattner Energy Incorporated (Avon, Minnesota) began construction on the windfarm earlier this year and is expected to complete it in 2026.

In 2022, Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) (Santa Clara, California) began an upgrade project on its semiconductor-manufacturing plant in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. The company is investing several hundred million dollars to perform upgrades and install new production assembly lines to enable the Rio Rancho facility to become Intel's global manufacturing hub for its latest Foveros chips. The project is in its final stages and is expected to be completed by the end of this year.

With parts of the Permian Basin extending into the state, oil and gas producers also are contributing to New Mexico's project activity. In Eddy County, Durango Midstream LLC (The Woodlands, Texas) is constructing a cryogenic gas-processing plant that will be able to process up to 225 million cubic feet per day of Permian-sourced natural gas. General contractor Interstate Treating Incorporated (Odessa, Texas) kicked off construction earlier this year and is expected to complete the project by yearend, when it will join the operations of two other Durango Midstream gas-processing plants operating in the state.

Another oil and gas-related project comes within the folds of the Metals & Minerals Industry but deals with an important component of Permian production: frac sand. Atlas Energy Solutions (Austin, Texas) is going large with the construction of a 42-mile conveyor system that will carry frac sand from Texas across the border into New Mexico. The fully electric system is designed to help limit congestion on Permian-area roadways and will originate at Atlas' facility in Kermit, Texas, spanning the border into New Mexico. The conveyor will feature two permanent loadout points at the state line and at the end of the line in New Mexico. Flexible loadout points along the route will further shorten the sand's transit to well sites. Atlas aims to move about 13 million tons of frac sand a year on the conveyor.

The Pharmaceutical-Biotech Industry features in New Mexico's project landscape, with all of the state's projects taking place in Albuquerque. Among the most ambitious of these is contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) Curia Global Incorporated's (Albany, New York) 68,000-square-foot building addition at its Albuquerque campus that will house a fill-finish suite for liquid and lyophilized (specially freeze-dried) products. Construction began in earnest last summer and is expected to be completed in the first half of next year.

While not among the nation's top onion producers, New Mexico nevertheless shipped 9.5 million 40-pound cartons of onions in 2023, up nearly 1.4 million carton-equivalents from 2022, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. With the increased production comes increased onion-related projects, and Diamond Onions Incorporated (Dallas, Texas) earlier this year broke ground on a grassroot onion processing and warehousing facility near Santa Teresa in Dona Ana County. The facility will include around 44,000 square feet of processing and warehouse space and additional room for offices. The first stage of the project is expected to be completed by the end of this year. Diamond could begin expanding the facility toward the end of next year by constructing a further 25,000 square feet of warehousing and processing space.
