was authorized to transmit the electrical 

output of its wood-burning generation 

facility, located in Fort Fairfield, Maine, 

to Canada using the international 

transmission facilities of Maine Public 

Service Company. 

On February 22, 2002, DOE was 

informed that AVEC had changed its 

name to Boralex Fort Fairfield Inc.

limited partnership, and become 

Boralex FF. 

On May 12, 2009, Boralex FF and 

Boralex Ashland jointly applied to DOE

export authority issued to AVEC in 

Order No. EA–239 to Boralex Ashland 

and to increase the authorized rate of 

export from 31 megawatts (MW) to 34 

MW.

Application To Export Electric Energy; 

Constellation Energy Commodities 

Group, Inc. 

AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery 

and Energy Reliability, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of application. 

SUMMARY: Constellation Energy 

Commodities Group, Inc. (Constellation) 

applied to renew its authority to export 

electric energy from the United States to 

Canada for a period of five years 

pursuant to section 202(e) of the Federal 

Power Act. 

DATES: Comments, protests, or requests 

to intervene must be submitted on or 

before September 8, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, or 

requests to intervene should be 

addressed as follows: Office of 

Electricity Delivery and Energy 

Reliability, Mail Code: OE–20, U.S. 

Department of Energy, 1000

Attorney) 202–586–2793. 

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 January 23, 1998, DOE issued 

Order No. EA–164 authorizing 

Constellation to transmit electric energy 

from the United States to Canada as a 

power marketer using international 

transmission facilities located at the 

United States border with Canada for a 

period of two years. DOE has twice 

renewed Constellation’s authority to 

export for five-year terms. The most 

recent authorization in Order No. EA– 

164–B will expire on January 31, 2010. 

On July 27, 2009, Constellation filed an 

application with DOE to renew the 

export authority contained in Order No. 

EA–164–B for an additional five-year 

term. 

Constellation does not own any 

electric transmission facilities nor does 

it hold a franchised service area. The 

electric energy which Constellation 

proposes to export to Canada would be 

surplus energy purchased from electric 

utilities, Federal power marketing 

agencies, and other entities within the 

United States, and exported using 

international transmission facilities that 

have previously been authorized by a 

Presidential permit issued pursuant to 

Executive Order 10485, as amended. 

Procedural Matters: Any person 

desiring to become a party to these 

proceedings or to be heard by filing

of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR

petition and protest should be filed with 

DOE on or before the date listed above.
