Exports of electricity from the United States to a foreign country are regulated by the Department of Energy (DOE) pursuant to sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the Department of Energy Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7151(b), 7172(f)) and require authorization under section 202(e) of the FPA (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)).
On September 7, 2004 the Department of Energy (DOE) issued Order No. EA-297, which authorized SESCO Canada to transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada as a power marketer for a two-year term using existing international transmission facilities. DOE renewed the SESCO Canada export authorization on May 17, 2006 in Order No. EA-297-A for a five-year term, which will expire on May 17, 2011. On January 24, 2011, SESCO Canada filed an application with DOE for renewal of the export authority Start Printed Page 11438contained in Order No. EA-297-A for a five-year term.
The electric energy that SESCO Canada proposes to export to Canada would be surplus energy purchased from electric utilities, Federal power marketing agencies, and other entities within the United States. The existing international transmission facilities to be utilized by SESCO Canada have previously been authorized by Presidential permits issued pursuant to Executive Order 10485, as amended, and are appropriate for open access transmission by third parties.
