SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Energy (DOE) regulates 

exports of electricity from the United 

States to a foreign country, pursuant to 

sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the 

Department of Energy Organization Act 

(42 U.S.C. 7151(b) and 42 U.S.C. 

7172(f)). Such exports require 

authorization under section 202(e) of 

the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 

824a(e)). 

On December 1, 2020, MEA filed an 

application with DOE (Application or 

App.) to transmit electric energy from 

the United States to Canada for a term 

of five years. MEA states that it ‘‘is a 

direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of 

Mercuria Energy Company, LLC (MEC), 

a Delaware limited liability company 

having its principal place of business in 

Houston, Texas.’’ App. at 1. MEA 

represents that it does not ‘‘own, operate 

or control electric transmission or 

distribution facilities in the United 

States over which the export of 

wholesale electricity could have 

reliability, fuel use, or system stability 

impact,’’ and that it has no ‘‘affiliation 

with any entity that owns, operates, or 

controls electric transmission or 

distribution facilities in the United 

States over which the export of 

wholesale electricity could have a 

reliability, fuel use, or system stability 

impact.’’ Id. at 3. 

MEA further states that it ‘‘will buy 

and sell wholesale electricity in the 

wholesale electricity in the wholesale 

electricity markets within the United 

States, and will export electricity 

transmitted across international 

transmission facilities to be utilized by 

Presidential permits issued pursuant to 

Executive Order 10485, as amended.’’ 

App. at 2. MEA contends that its exports 

‘‘will not impair or tend to impede the 

sufficiency of electricity supplies in the 

United States or the regional 

coordination of electric utility planning 

or operations.’’ Id. at 4. 

MEA states that its exports ‘‘will be 

purchased from other suppliers (i.e. 

generators, electric utilities, and other 

power marketers) voluntarily, and 

therefore will be surplus to the needs of 

the selling entities.’’ App. at 3–4. 

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 Procedure (18 CFR 

385.211). Any person desiring to 

become a party to this proceeding 

should file a motion to intervene at the 

above address in accordance with FERC 

Rule 214 (18 CFR 385.214). 

Comments and other filings 

concerning MEA’s application to export 

electric energy to Canada should be 

clearly marked with OE Docket No. EA– 

487. Additional copies are to be

and Mark Greenberg, 20 E. Greenway 

Plaza, Suite 650, Houston, Texas 77046, 

mgreenberg@mercuria.com. 

A final decision will be made on the 

Application after the environmental 

impacts have been evaluated pursuant 

to DOE’s National Environmental Policy 

Act Implementing Procedures (10 CFR 

part 1021) and after DOE determines 

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.

On November 13, 2020, DEMI filed an

DEMI further represents that it ‘‘is 

wholly owned by Centrica US Holdings 

Inc., an indirect, wholly-owned 

subsidiary of Centrica plc (Centrica).’’ 

Id. DEMI adds that it ‘‘does not own or 

control any electric generation facilities 

in any wholesale market in interstate 

commerce’’ and that ‘‘neither DEMI nor 

any of its affiliates own or control 

transmission facilities or has a electric 

franchised service territory or captive 

wholesale or retail customers.’’ Id. 

DEMI further states that it ‘‘will 

purchase the power to be exported from 

electric utilities and federal power 

marketing agencies pursuant to 

voluntary agreements.’’ App. at 3. DEMI 

contends that ‘‘the electric power that 

[it] will export on either a firm or 

interruptible basis will not impair the 

sufficiency of the electric power supply 

within the United States’’ and that its 

‘‘exports of electric energy to Canada 

will not impede or tend to impede the 

regional coordination of electric utility 

planning or operations.’’ Id. at 3–4. 

DEMI states that all its electricity 

exports ‘‘will be transmitted pursuant to 

arrangements with utilities that own 

and operate existing transmission 

facilities and will be consistent with the 

export limitations and other terms and 

conditions contained in the existing 

Presidential Permits and electricity 

export authorizations associated with 

those facilities.’’ App. at 4. DEMI also 

represents that it ‘‘will comply with the 

terms and conditions contained in the 

authorizations issued for these crossborder facilities as well as other export 

limitations that DOE may deem 

appropriate.’’ Id.
