foreign country are regulated and
require authorization under section
202(e) of the Federal Power Act (FPA)
(16 U.S.C. 824a(e)).
On May 30, 2002, the Department of
Energy (DOE) issued Order No. EA–264
authorizing ENMAX to transmit electric
energy from the United States to Canada
as a power marketer using international
transmission facilities located at the

May 19, 2004, DOE issued Order No.
EA–264–A which renewed that
authorization for a five-year period.
That Order will expire on May 19, 2009.
On April 7, 2009, ENMAX filed an
application with DOE to renew the
export authority contained in Order No.
EA–264–A for an additional five-year
term.
The electric energy which ENMAX
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 construction, operation,
maintenance, and connection of each of
the international transmission facilities
to be utilized by ENMAX has previously
been authorized by a Presidential permit
issued pursuant to Executive Order
10485, as amended.

proceedings or to be heard by filing
comments or protests to this application

Fifteen copies of each petition and
protest should be filed with DOE on or

Comments on the ENMAX application
to export electric energy to Canada
should be clearly marked with Docket
No. EA–264–B. Additional copies are to
be filed directly with Penny Haldane,
