SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States Department of Energy (DOE)
regulates electricity exports from the United States to foreign
countries in accordance with section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act
(FPA) (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)) and regulations thereunder (10 CFR 205.300 et
seq.). Sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the DOE Organization Act (42
U.S.C. 7151(b) and 7172(f)) transferred this regulatory authority,
previously exercised by the now-defunct Federal Power Commission, to
DOE.
Section 202(e) of the FPA provides that an entity which seeks to
export electricity must obtain an order from DOE authorizing that
export (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). On April 10, 2023, the authority to issue
such orders was delegated to the DOE's Grid Deployment Office (GDO)
under Delegation Order No. S1-DEL-S3-2023 and Redelegation Order No.
S3-DEL-GD1-2023.
In September 2012, DOE issued Order EA-385 to Dynasty Power to
transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada as a power
marketer. On May 15, 2019, DOE issued Order EA-3385-A renewing this
authorization. On May 13, 2024, Dynasty Power filed an application with
DOE (Application or App.) for renewal of their export authority for an
additional five-year term. App. at 1.
According to the Application, Dynasty Power is incorporated in the
Canadian province of Alberta, with its principal place of business in
Calgary, Alberta. App. at 1. The Applicant's ``sole business is to act
as a power marketer in the purchase and sale of wholesale electricity,
capacity, and ancillary services at market-based rates[.]'' Id. The
Applicant ``does not own or control any electric power generation or
transmission facilities and does not have a franchised electric power
service area.'' Id at 2. Dynasty Power represents that it ``will
purchase surplus electric energy from electric utilities and other
suppliers within the United States and will export this energy to
Canada over the international electric transmission facilities.'' Id.
at 3. Further, the Applicant states that its ``export of power will not
impair the sufficiency of electric power supply in the U.S.'' Id.
Additionally, the Applicant states its transactions will comply with
all North American Electric Reliability Corporation requirements and
export limits, which ensure such exports ``will not impede or tend to
impede the coordinated use of transmission facilities within the
meaning of Section 202(e) of the FPA.'' Id. at 3-4.
The existing international transmission facilities to be utilized
by the Applicant have been previously authorized by Presidential
permits issued pursuant to Executive Order 10485, as amended, and are
appropriate for open access transmission by third parties. See App. at
Exhibit C.

proceeding should file a comment or protest to the Application at

A final decision will be made on the requested authorization after
the environmental impacts have been evaluated pursuant to DOE's
National Environmental Policy Act Implementing Procedures (10 CFR part
1021) and after DOE evaluates whether the proposed action will have an
adverse impact on the sufficiency of supply or reliability of the
United States electric power supply system.
