DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

[GDO Docket No. EA–479–A] 

Application for Renewal of 

Authorization to Export Electric 

Energy; Macquarie Energy LLC 

AGENCY: Grid Deployment Office, 

Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of application. 

SUMMARY: Macquarie Energy LLC 

(Macquarie Energy or Applicant) has 

applied for renewed authorization to 

transmit electric energy from the United 

States to Canada pursuant to the Federal 

Power Act. 

DATES: Comments, protests, or motions 

to intervene must be submitted on or 

before November 18, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, 

motions to intervene, or requests for 

more information should be addressed 

by electronic mail to 

Electricity.Exports@hq.doe.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Janessa Zucchetto, (240) 474–8226, 

Electricity.Exports@hq.doe.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

United States Department of Energy 

(DOE) regulates electricity exports from 

the United States to foreign countries in 

accordance with section 202(e) of the 

Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 

824a(e)) and regulations thereunder (10 

CFR 205.300 et seq.). Sections 301(b) 

and 402(f) of the DOE Organization Act 

(42 U.S.C. 7151(b) and 7172(f)) 

transferred this regulatory authority, 

previously exercised by the nowdefunct Federal Power Commission, to 

DOE. 

Section 202(e) of the FPA provides 

that an entity which seeks to export 

electricity must obtain an order from 

DOE authorizing that export (16 U.S.C. 

824a(e)). On April 10, 2023, the 

authority to issue such orders was 

delegated to the DOE’s Grid Deployment 

Office (GDO) under Redelegation Order 

No. S3–DEL–GD1–2023. 

On November 21, 2019, DOE issued 

Order No. EA–479 to Macquarie Energy 

to transmit electric energy from the 

United States to Canada as a power 

marketer for a period of five years. On 

August 30, 2024, Macquarie Energy filed 

an application (Application or App.) for 

renewal of its export authority. App. at 

1. 

According to its Application, 

Macquarie Energy is a power marketer 

‘‘and broker of electric power at 

wholesale.’’ Id. at 1. The Applicant 

states that it is ‘‘a Delaware corporation 

with its office and principal place of 

business in Houston, Texas’’ and ‘‘an 

indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of 

Macquarie Group Ltd., an Australian 

company listed on the Australian Stock 

Exchange.’’ Id. Macquarie Energy states 

that ‘‘the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission [FERC] has authorized 

Macquarie Energy to engage in 

wholesale sales of electric energy, 

capacity, and ancillary services at 

market-based rates.’’ Id. 

Macquarie Energy represents that it 

‘‘does not own or control any electric 

power generation or transmission 

facilities and does not have a franchised 

electric power service area.’’ App. at 1. 

Macquarie Energy states it ‘‘does not 

have its own ‘system’ on which its 

exports of energy could have a 

reliability or stability impact’’ and it 

‘‘will purchase the energy to be 

exported from wholesale generators, 

electric utilities, power marketers, 

Independent System Operators, 

Regional Transmission Authorities, and 

federal power marketing agencies.’’ Id. 

at 2. The Applicant further states that 

‘‘such energy is surplus to the system of 

the generator and thus, exportation of 

said energy will not impair the 

adequacy of the electric power supply 

within the United States.’’ Id. 

Additionally, Macquarie Energy asserts 

that it will comply with all applicable 

reliability criteria, standards, and 

guidelines. See id. at 3. 

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 id. at Exhibit C. 

Procedural Matters: Any person 

desiring to be heard in this proceeding 

should file a comment or protest to the 

Application at Electricity.Exports@

hq.doe.gov. Protests should be filed in 

accordance with Rule 211 of FERC’s 

Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 

385.211). Any person desiring to 

become a party to this proceeding 

should file a motion to intervene at 

Electricity.Exports@hq.doe.gov in 

accordance with FERC Rule 214 (18 CFR 

385.214). 

Comments and other filings 

concerning Macquarie Energy’s 

Application should be clearly marked 

with GDO Docket No. EA–479–A.

A final decision will be made on the 

requested authorization after the 

environmental impacts have been 

evaluated pursuant to DOE’s National 

Environmental Policy Act Implementing 

Procedures (10 CFR part 1021) and after 

DOE evaluates whether the proposed 

action will have an adverse impact on 

the sufficiency of supply or reliability of
