On July 23, 1998, DOE issued Order No. EA–184, authorizing MSCG to transmit electric energy from the United States to Mexico as a power marketer for a two-year term using existing international transmission facilities. That Order expired on July 23, 2000. DOE renewed the MSCG export authorization on June 28, 2006 in Order No. EA–184–A. That Order expired on June 28, 2011. On June 20, 2011 MSCG filed an application with DOE to renew the export authority contained in Order No. EA–184–A for a five-year term.

The electric energy that MSCG 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 MSCG 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.

Protests should be filed in accordance with Rule 211 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) Rules of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 385.211).
