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 17, 2007 the Department 

of Energy (DOE) issued Order No. EA– 

315, which authorized BP Energy to 

transmit electric energy from the United 

States to Canada as a power marketer for 

a five-year term using existing 

international transmission facilities. 

That authority will expire on January 

17, 2012. On October 31, 2011, BP 

Energy filed an application with DOE 

for renewal of the export authority 

contained in Order No. EA–315 for an 

additional five-year term. 

The electric energy that BP Energy 

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 

BP Energy 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.
