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 Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C.
824a(e)).
On September 28, 2012, DOE issued
Order No. EA–328–A to RBC Energy,
which authorized the Applicant to
transmit electric energy from the United
States to Canada as a power marketer for
a five-year term using existing
international transmission facilities.
That authority expires on September 26,
2017. On March 24, 2017, RBC Energy
filed an application with DOE for
renewal of the export authority
contained in Order No. EA–328 for an
additional five-year term.
In its application, RBC Energy states
that it does not own or operate any
electric generation or transmission
facilities, and it does not have a
franchised service area. The electric
energy that RBC Energy proposes to
export to Canada would be surplus
energy purchased from third parties
such as electric utilities and Federal
power marketing agencies pursuant to
voluntary agreements. The existing
international transmission facilities to
be utilized by RBC Energy 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 be heard in this proceeding
should file a comment or protest to the
application at the address provided
above. Protests should be filed in
accordance with Rule 211 of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC)
