Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES 20644 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 58 / Monday, March 25, 2024 / Notices approximately 18,000 megawatts (MW) of generation capacity located within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market. Id. LUME represents that it also manages power purchase agreements and meets the energy supply requirements of various competitive retail energy service providers within ERCOT, is certified as a Qualified Scheduling Entity with ERCOT, and is registered with the Public Utilities Commission of Texas as a wholesale power marketer. Id. The Applicant is also authorized to sell wholesale electric energy, capacity, and ancillary services outside of ERCOT at market-based rates pursuant to authority granted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Id. Vistra, LUME’s parent company, ‘‘operates a generation portfolio of approximately 37,000 MWs of natural gas, nuclear, coal, battery, and solar facilities in 20 states and the District of Columbia and in six of the seven competitive markets in the United States.’’ App. at 2. LUME states that neither it nor its affiliates ‘‘directly or indirectly own or control any transmission facilities other than those limited and discrete facilities interconnecting its electric generation facilities to the grid.’’ Id. at 3. LUME further states that neither it nor any of its affiliates has a franchised service area. Id. Further, LUME notes its proposed exports would be surplus electricity and that market mechanisms and reliability oversite protect against exports that would jeopardize domestic sufficiency of supply. See id. at 5 n.13. LUME also asserts that because it will schedule its exports from the U.S. in compliance with all applicable criteria, standards, and guidelines, its proposed exports will not impede reliability. Id. at 6. The existing international transmission facilities to be utilized by the Applicant have been previously authorized by Presidential permits issued pursuant to Executive Order 10485, as amended, and are appropriate for open access transmission by third parties. See App. at Exhibit C. Procedural Matters: Any person desiring to be heard in this proceeding should file a comment or protest to the Application at Electricity.Exports@ hq.doe.gov. Protests should be filed in accordance with Rule 211 of FERC’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211). Any person desiring to become a party to this proceeding should file a motion to intervene at Electricity.Exports@hq.doe.gov in accordance with FERC Rule 214 (18 CFR 385.214). VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:08 Mar 22, 2024 Jkt 262001 Comments and other filings concerning LUME’s Application should be clearly marked with GDO Docket No. EA–471–A.

Hug and Ben N. Reiter, AKIN GUMP STRAUSS HAUER & FELD LLP, 2001 K Street NW, Washington, DC 20006, shug@akingump.com, breiter@ akingump.com. A final decision will be made on the requested authorization after the environmental impacts have been evaluated pursuant to DOE’s National Environmental Policy Act Implementing Procedures (10 CFR part 1021) and after DOE evaluates whether the proposed action will have an adverse impact on the sufficiency of supply or reliability of the United States electric power supply system.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christina Gomer, (240) 474–2403, Electricity.Exports@hq.doe.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States Department of Energy (DOE) regulates electricity exports from the United States to foreign countries in accordance with section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)) and regulations thereunder (10 CFR 205.300 et seq.). Sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the DOE Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7151(b) and 7172(f)) transferred this regulatory authority, previously exercised by the nowdefunct Federal Power Commission, to DOE. Section 202(e) of the FPA provides that an entity which seeks to export electricity must obtain an order from DOE authorizing that export (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). On April 10, 2023, the authority to issue such orders was delegated to the DOE’s Grid Deployment Office (GDO) by Delegation Order No. S1–DEL–S3–2023 and Redelegation Order No. S3–DEL–GD1–2023. On May 10, 2019, DOE issued Order No. EA–467 to CCCU to transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada as a power marketer for a period of five years. On February 21, 2024, CCCU filed an application with DOE (Application or App.) for renewal of its export authority for a five-year term. App. at 1. According to the Application, CCCU is an Alberta, Canada corporation that is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (‘‘Citigroup’’). Id. at 1–2. CCCU represents that through Citigroup, CCCU is affiliated with Citigroup Energy Inc., which is authorized by FERC to sell energy, capacity, and ancillary services at market-based rates. Id. at 2 & n.4. CCCU states that neither it nor its affiliates own or operate any electric facilities, nor do they own or controls interests in transmission or distribution facilities in the United States or Canada. Id. at 2. The Applicant represents that the electricity it proposes to export will be purchased from third parties pursuant to voluntary agreements and that such electricity would be, by definition, surplus to the needs of the selling entities. Id. at 5. CCCU also states it will comply with applicable reliability standards, export limits, and other regulatory requirements and procedures. See Id. at 5–7. CCCU thus DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 20645 asserts its export of this electricity will not impair the sufficiency of electric supply within the United States or the regional coordination of electric utility planning or operations. Id. at 5, 7. The existing international transmission facilities to be utilized by the Applicant have been previously authorized by Presidential permits issued pursuant to Executive Order 10485, as amended, and are appropriate for open access transmission by third parties. See App. at Exhibit C. Procedural Matters: Any person desiring to be heard in this proceeding should file a comment or protest to the Application at Electricity.Exports@ hq.doe.gov. Protests should be filed in accordance with Rule 211 of FERC’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211).
