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) by
Delegation Order No. S1-DEL-S3-2023 and Redelegation Order No. S3-DEL-
GD1-2023.
On July 18, 2019, DOE issued Order No. EA-470 authorizing EDECSAMEX
to export electricity from the United States to Mexico as a power
marketer for a five-year term. On April 30, 2024, EDECSAMEX filed an
application
[[Page 53071]]
(Application or App.) with DOE for renewal of their export authority
for a five-year term. App. at 1.
According to the Application, EDECSAMEX is incorporated under the
laws of Mexico with its principal place of business in Mexico City,
Mexico. Id. The Applicant is authorized by Centro Nacional de Control
de Energ[iacute]a, Mexico's national grid operator, to transact as a
wholesale power marketer in Mexico and import and export electricity
with the United States. Id. at 2. The Applicant represents that
``neither EDECSAMEX nor any of its owners hold a franchised electric
power service area nor have a native load obligation'' and that it
plans to source excess power supply from ERCOT, CAISO, and potentially
other markets bordering Mexico. See id. at 3. EDECSAMEX asserts its
commercial plan will not affect reliability or the sufficiency of the
electric supply within the U.S. Id. The Applicant also represents its
exports ``will not impede or tend to impede the coordination in the
public interest of facilities subject to the jurisdiction of the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission[.]'' Id. at 1.
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.

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.
