Jkt 262001
(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) under Delegation Order
No. S1–DEL–S3–2023 and Redelegation
Order No. S3–DEL–GD1–2023.
In September 2012, DOE issued Order
EA–385 to Dynasty Power to transmit
electric energy from the United States to
Canada as a power marketer. On May
15, 2019, DOE issued Order EA–3385–
A renewing this authorization. On May
13, 2024, Dynasty Power filed an
application with DOE (Application or
App.) for renewal of their export
authority for an additional five-year
term. App. at 1.
According to the Application,
Dynasty Power is incorporated in the
Canadian province of Alberta, with its
principal place of business in Calgary,
Alberta. App. at 1. The Applicant’s
‘‘sole business is to act as a power
marketer in the purchase and sale of
wholesale electricity, capacity, and
ancillary services at market-based
rates[.]’’ Id. The Applicant ‘‘does not
own or control any electric power
generation or transmission facilities and
does not have a franchised electric
power service area.’’ Id at 2. Dynasty
Power represents that it ‘‘will purchase
surplus electric energy from electric
utilities and other suppliers within the
United States and will export this
energy to Canada over the international
electric transmission facilities.’’ Id. at 3.
Further, the Applicant states that its
‘‘export of power will not impair the
sufficiency of electric power supply in
the U.S.’’ Id. Additionally, the
Applicant states its transactions will
comply with all North American
Electric Reliability Corporation
requirements and export limits, which
ensure such exports ‘‘will not impede or
tend to impede the coordinated use of
transmission facilities within the
meaning of Section 202(e) of the FPA.’’
Id. at 3–4.
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

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
