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 May 3, 2000 the Department of 

Energy (DOE) issued Order No. EA–220, 

which authorized NRGPML to transmit 

electric energy from the United States to 

Canada as a power marketer using 

existing international transmission 

facilities for a two-year term. DOE 

renewed the NRGPML export 

authorization two additional times; in 

Order No. EA–220–A on September 24, 

2002 and in Order No. EA–220–B on 

August 23, 2005. Order No. EA–220–B

September 15, 2010, NRGPML filed an 

application with DOE for renewal of the 

export authority contained in Order No. 

EA–220–B for an additional five-year 

term. 

The electric energy that NRGPML 

proposes to export to Canada 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 

NRGPML 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.

supply system.
