SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exports of 

electricity from the United States to a 

foreign country are regulated by the 

Department of Energy (DOE) pursuant to 

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

Department of Energy Organization Act 

(42 U.S.C. 7151(b), 7172(f)) and require 

authorization under section 202(e) of 

the FPA (16 U.S.C.824a(e)). 

On September 11, 2012, DOE received 

an application from Energia Renovable 

for authority to transmit electric energy 

from the United States to Mexico for 

five years as a power marketer using 

existing international transmission 

facilities. Energia Renovable does not 

own any electric transmission facilities 

nor does it hold a franchised service 

area. 

The electric energy that Energia 

Renovable proposes to export to Mexico 

would be surplus energy purchased 

from electric utilities, Federal power 

marketing agencies, and other entities 

within the United States. The existing 

international transmission facilities to 

be utilized by Energia Renovable 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. In its 

application, Energia Renovable 

requested expedited application 

treatment due to an scheduled 

imminent transaction. DOE hereby 

grants this request by shortening the 

comment period to 15 days.

desiring to be heard in this proceeding 

should file a comment or protest to the

above. Protests should be filed in
