Application to Export Electric Energy; Direct Energy Marketing,
Inc.
AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, DOE.
ACTION: Notice of Application.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Direct Energy Marketing, Inc. (DEMI) has applied to renew its
authority to transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada
pursuant to section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act (FPA).
DATES: Comments, protests, or requests to intervene must be submitted
to DOE and received on or before January 3, 2011.
ADDRESSES: Comments, protests or requests to intervene should be
addressed to: Christopher Lawrence, Office of Electricity Delivery and
Energy Reliability, Mail Code: OE-20, U.S. Department of Energy, 1000
Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20585-0350. Because of delays
in handling conventional mail, it is recommended that documents be
transmitted by overnight mail, by electronic mail to
Christopher.Lawrence@hq.doe.gov, or by facsimile to 202-586-8008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christopher Lawrence (Program Office)
202-586-5260.
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 November 5, 2003, DOE issued Order No. EA-280, which authorized
DEMI to transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada for a
two-year term as a power marketer using existing international
transmission facilities. DOE renewed the DEMI export authorization in
Order No. EA-280-A on March 17, 2006. Order No. EA-280-A expired on
November 5, 2010. On November 5, 2010, DEMI filed an application with
DOE for renewal of the export authority contained in Order No. EA-280-A
for an additional ten-year term.
DEMI has requested expedited treatment of their application. DEMI
states that due to recent personnel changes, the impending termination
of their current export authorization was only recently discovered.
Because that authorization has expired, DEMI wishes to have expedited
treatment of this application in order to minimize the disruption to
its electricity trade with Canadian interests. DEMI also indicated that
it has not engaged in the export of electricity since its authorization
expired and will not do so unless and until DEMI receives an Order
granting renewal of its export authority in this proceeding. In
response to DEMI's request for expedited treatment, DOE has shortened
the public comment period to 15 days.
The electric energy that DEMI 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 DEMI
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.
Procedural Matters: Any person desiring to become a party to these
proceedings or to be heard by filing comments or protests to this
application should file a petition to intervene, comment, or protest at
the address provided above in accordance with Sec. Sec. 385.211 or
385.214 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedures (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Fifteen copies of each
petition and protest should be filed with and received by DOE on or
before the date listed above.
Comments on the DEMI application to export electric energy to
Canada should be clearly marked with Docket No. EA-280-B. Additional
copies are to be filed directly with Judith Kim, FERC Attorney, Direct
Energy, LP, 12 Greenway Plaza, Suite 600, Houston, Texas 77046 and
Katherine Krause, Director, U.S. Compliance, Direct Energy, LP, 12
Greenway Plaza, Suite 600, Houston, Texas. A final decision will be
made on this application after the environmental impacts have been
evaluated pursuant to DOE's National Environmental Policy Act
Implementing Procedures (10 CFR Part 1021) and after a determination is
made by DOE that the proposed action will not adversely impact on the
reliability of the U.S. electric power supply system.
Copies of this application will be made available, upon request,
for public inspection and copying at the address provided above, by
accessing the program Web site at https://www.oe.energy.gov/permits_pending.htm, or by e-mailing Odessa Hopkins at
