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.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ As stated in Redelegation Order No. S3-DEL-GD1-2023, nothing
in the Order precludes the Secretary or the Under Secretary (for
Infrastructure) from exercising any of the authority delegated by
the Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On June 18, 2025, CWP Energy filed an application (Application or
App) for renewal of export authorization to transmit electric energy
from the United States to Canada for a term of five years. App. at 2.
The Applicant is a Canadian Corporation with its principal place of
business in Montr[eacute]al, Qu[eacute]bec, Canada. Id. at 3. CWP
Energy states it is a subsidiary of McGill-St. Laurent, which owns
88.4% of CWP Energy. Id. at 2-3. The Applicant further states CWP
Energy is owned 10.03% by Investissements AFA Inc and 1.57% by Mr.
Guillaume Desnoyers. Id. at 3. The Applicant states ``CWP Energy is a
[Federal Energy Regulatory Commission]-authorized power marketer
engaging in the purchase and sale of physical and/or virtual energy in
the Day-ahead and Real-time Markets of various Independent System
Operators and Regional Transmission Organizations.'' Id. at 3-4.
The Applicant represents that ``CWP Energy will purchase power to
be exported from a variety of sources'' and that ``such power is
surplus to the system of the generator and, therefore, the electric
power that CWP Energy will export on either a firm or interruptible
basis will not impair the sufficiency of the electric power supply
within the U.S.'' App. at 5. The Applicant states that ``CWP Energy
will schedule its transactions with the appropriate balancing authority
areas in compliance with the reliability criteria standards and
guidelines established by the North American Reliability Corporation
(`NERC') and its member regional councils in effect at the time of the
export.'' Id. at 5. The Applicant further states ``that the exports
proposed by CWP Energy will not impair or tend to impede the
sufficiency of electric supplies in the U.S. or the regional
coordination of electric utility planning or operations.'' Id. at 6.
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
DOE reviews the action pursuant to the National Environmental Policy
Act Implementing Procedures (June 2025), including 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.
