SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 May 26, 2009, DOE received an application from JPMCCC for authority to transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada as a power marketer. The energy to be exported would be delivered to Canada over existing transmission interconnections between the United States and Canada over any facility determined by DOE to be appropriate for third-party use. The electric energy which JPMCCC proposes to export to Canada would be surplus to the needs of the selling entities. JPMCCC has requested an electricity export authorization with a 5-year term.
