Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 247 / Wednesday, December 27, 2023 / Notices 89429 

authorized to sell wholesale electric 

energy, capacity and ancillary services 

outside of the Electric Reliability 

Council of Texas at market-based rates 

pursuant to authority granted by the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 

(FERC) under a wholesale power sales 

tariff currently on file with FERC. Id. at 

2. BETM states that as a power marketer, 

it ‘‘does not own any electric generation 

or transmission facilities and does not 

hold a franchise or service territory or 

native load obligation.’’ Id. at 4. Further, 

BETM represents that ‘‘none of BETM’s 

U.S.-based affiliates or subsidiaries own 

any electric transmission facilities other 

than generating facility interconnection 

facilities necessary to connect 

individual generating facilities to the 

grid[,] and BETM is not affiliated with 

an entity that holds a franchise or 

service territory in the U.S.’’ Id. BETM 

represents that because it neither owns, 

operates nor controls an electric power 

supply transmission and/or distribution 

system, ‘‘its exports cannot have any 

adverse impact on the reliability, 

stability, or sufficiency of supply on a 

franchised electric supply system or the 

electric power supply within the U.S.’’ 

Id. at 5. 

The existing international 

transmission facilities to be utilized by 

the Applicant have been previously 

authorized by Presidential permits 

issued pursuant to Executive Order 

10485, as amended, and are appropriate 

for open access transmission by third 

parties. See App. at Exhibit C.
