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 now-defunct 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 August 16, 2024, ESJ US filed an application (Application or

United States to Mexico. App. at 1. According to the Application, ESJ 
US is a power marketer and a Delaware limited liability company 
authorized to operate in California. Id. at 1, 6. Further, the 
Applicant states its corporate parent, Energia Sierra, S. de R.L. de 
C.V., is a ``wholly-owned subsidiar[y] of Sempra Infrastructure 
Partners, LP, which in turn is indirectly majority owned and controlled 
by Sempra, a publicly traded utility holding company based in San 
Diego, California.'' Id. at 1-2. ESJ US states it ``will sell energy, 
capacity and/or ancillary services into the [California Independent 
Service Operator (CAISO)] balancing authority area [.]'' Id.
    The Applicant represents that their exports would ``not impair the 
sufficiency of electric supply, nor would it impede or tend to impede 
regional coordination of electric utility planning or operation.'' Id. 
at 7. ESJ US further states that the electric power it ``plans to 
export will be surplus energy obtained in wholesale markets, and any 
such export transactions will be completed using CAISO's procedures 
and/or market structures, . . . applicable market rules implemented by 
the CAISO, and reliability standards implemented by the [North American 
Electric Reliability Corporation] and the [Western Electric Reliability 
Council].'' Id. 8-9. The Applicant asserts that its export transactions 
therefore ``will not adversely impact native load customers or other 
market participants, and will not compromise transmission security or 
reliability.'' Id. at 9.
    The existing international transmission facility to be utilized by 
the Applicant has been previously authorized by a Presidential permit 
issued pursuant to Executive Order 10485, as amended, and is 
appropriate for open access transmission by third parties. See App. at 
10.

    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
