7172(f)). Such exports require
authorization under section 202(e) of
the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C.
824a(e)).
On May 21, 2020, DMG filed an
application with DOE (Application or
App.) to transmit electric energy from
the United States to Canada for a term
of five years. DMG states that it ‘‘is a
British Columbia corporation with its
office and principal place of business in
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada’’
and that it ‘‘has a US subsidiary in
Sunnyvale, California.’’ App. at 1. DMG
adds that it ‘‘does not own, operate or
control any electric generation assets,
not is it affiliates with any entity that
owns generation assets in the United
States,’’ and that ‘‘[n]either DMG nor
any of its affiliates holds a franchise or
service territory for the transmission,
distribution or sale of electric power.’’
Id. at 2.
DMG further states that it ‘‘will
purchase power to be exported from
electric utilities, federal power
marketing agencies, qualifying
cogeneration, small power production
facilities and exempt wholesale
generators as those terms defined in the
FPA.’’ App. at 3. DMG contends that its
proposed exports will not impair the
sufficiency of electric supply within the
United States and will neither impede
nor tend to impede the operational
reliability of the bulk power system. See
id.
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.
