On August 21, 1998, the Department of Energy (DOE) issued Order No. EA– 182, which authorized HQUS to transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada as a power marketer using existing international transmission facilities for a five-year term. DOE renewed the HQUS export authorization on August 21, 2000, in Order No. EA–182–A and again on

term.

The electric energy that HQUS proposes to export to Canada would be surplus energy purchased from electric utilities, Federal power marketing agencies and other entities within the United States.
