Application to Export Electric Energy; Fisterra
Generaci[oacute]n, S. de R.L. de C.V.
AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, DOE.
ACTION: Notice of application.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Fisterra Generaci[oacute]n, S. de R.L. de C.V. (Applicant) has
applied for authority to transmit electric energy from the United
States to Mexico pursuant to the Federal Power Act.
DATES: Comments, protests, or motions to intervene must be submitted on
or before January 29, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, motions to intervene, or requests for
more information should be addressed to: 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
[email protected], or by facsimile to 202-586-8008.
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.
Sec. 824a(e)).
On November 7, 2017, DOE received an application from the Applicant
for authority to transmit electric energy from the United States to
Mexico as a power marketer for a five-year term using existing
international transmission facilities. The Applicant will register with
the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) to make sells in
Mexico, and will also be applying with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) for authorization to sell energy at wholesale market-
based rates in the U.S.
In its application, the Applicant states that it does not own or
control any electric generation or transmission facilities, and it does
not have a franchised service area. The electric energy that the
Applicant proposes to export to Mexico 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 the Applicant
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) Rules of
Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 385.211). Any person desiring to become
a party to these proceedings should file a motion to intervene at the
above address in accordance with FERC Rule 214 (18 CFR 385.214). Five
copies of such comments, protests, or motions to intervene should be
sent to the address provided above on or before the date listed above.
Comments and other filings concerning the Applicant's application
to export electric energy to Mexico should be clearly marked with OE
Docket No. EA-442. An additional copy is to be provided to Brooksany
Barrowes, Baker Botts L.L.P., 1299 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC
20004.
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
have an adverse impact on the sufficiency of supply or 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 website at https://energy.gov/node/11845, or by
emailing Angela Troy at [email protected].
Issued in Washington, DC, on November 27, 2017.
