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.
On November 27, 2019, DOE issued Order No. EA-264-D to ENMAX to
transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada as a power
marketer for a period of five years. On May 30, 2024,
[[Page 59909]]
ENMAX filed an application (Application or App.) for renewal of its
export authority for a five-year term. App. at 1.
According to the Application, ENMAX is an Alberta, Canada
corporation having its principal place of business at Calgary, Alberta,
Canada and a wholly owned subsidiary of ENMAX Energy Corporation, which
is a wholly owned subsidiary of ENMAX Corporation, which is wholly
owned by The City of Calgary. Id. at 1-2. ENMAX represents that it is a
power marketer and engages in the purchase and sale of energy and
capacity in wholesale electric markets. Id. at 3. ENMAX also represents
that it has received authority from the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) to sell power in the U.S. at market-based rates. Id.
at 1.
The Applicant states that although it does not own transmission
border facilities, it purchases transmission service from locations in
the United States to the border with Canada. Id. at 5. Furthermore,
ENMAX represents that its parent company ENMAX Corporation, through
ENMAX Power Corporation, owns electrical transmission and distribution
assets in the Calgary, Alberta, Canada region and indirectly owns
Versant Power, a public utility that owns electrical transmission and
distribution lines in Maine. Id. at 2.
ENMAX represents that its export of electricity will not impair the
sufficiency of the United States electric supply because the power
exported will only be on transmission lines with available capacity.
App. at 5. Additionally, the Applicant states that it will comply with
all applicable reliability and technical standards set forth in the
relevant licenses and that its proposed exports would not adversely
affect transmission facilities or impede the coordinated use of
transmission facilities. Id.
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.
