Seen a number of gas compressor stations and none are electric powered, they run on gas which happens to be readily available right at the compressor station.
You have lots of NG in NM, shortage is not Texas fault. Probably some holdover dem bureaucrat in NM gubmint.
NM Gas Co. was blaming it on Texas and the power outages, I really don’t know. They showed 3 compressor stations in the panhandle of Texas.
I was told by another poster that they went to electric because of emissions, once again I really don’t know.
Las Cruces, NM is powered by El Paso Electric, I think, and they have had power outages. We have PNM and it hasn’t even flickered, my MIL has Columbus Electric and her power did go out for about an hour.
I know we have at least one compressor station left west of town and one east of town and we only live about 10 miles from the main natural gas line to California.
I thought about this awhile and I think it could definitely be both electric and gas powered compressors. It would probably hinge on when they were built. I imagine the older stations could have been grandfathered in with their gas power while any new ones could be forced to go to electric.
This is basically what happened to us in a business that we were active in.
