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 Redelegation Order No. S3-DEL-GD1-2023.
On February 25, 2025, Halia Energy filed an application
(Application or App.) for authorization to transmit electric energy
from the United States to Canada for a term of five years. App. at 1.
According to the Application, the Applicant asserts that it ``is a
power marketer authorized by the [Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC)] to make sales of electric power at wholesale in interstate
commerce at market-based rates.'' Id. at 2. Halia Energy states that it
is a ``Delaware limited liability company, [and] is a direct wholly
owned subsidiary of Halia Energy US ApS, a corporation organized under
the laws of Denmark.'' Id. at 1.
Halia Energy represents that it ``does not own, operate, or control
generation facilities or transmission facilities, and does not have a
franchised service area.'' App. at 2. Further, Halia Energy states that
it does not have a ``service territory or native load obligation.'' Id.
at 4. The Applicant represents that the electricity it will export will
be surplus to the needs of the selling entities and thus under such
circumstances will ``not impair the sufficiency of electric supply
within the U.S.'' Id. at 4-5.
Halia Energy further asserts that it ``will schedule its exports
from the U.S. in compliance with all applicable reliability criteria,
standards, and guides as are set out by the [North American Electric
Reliability Corporation], the North American Energy Standards Board,
and regional reliability councils as applied by U.S. transmission
providers.'' App. at 5. The Applicant states that it ``does not have
the ability to cause total exports on Presidential Permit facilities to
exceed the authorized instantaneous transmission rate.'' Id. at 6. The
Applicant asserts that compliance with applicable statutes, rules,
regulations, and orders will ensure that the transmission of its
proposed exports ``will not impede or tend to impede the regional
coordination of electric utility planning or operation.'' 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.
