DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

[OE Docket No. EA-264-D]


Application to Export Electric Energy; ENMAX Energy Marketing 
Inc.

AGENCY: Office of Electricity, Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of application.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: ENMAX Energy Marketing Inc. (Applicant or ENMAX) has applied 
to renew its 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 14, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, motions to intervene, or requests for 
more information should be addressed to: Office of Electricity, Mail 
Code: OE-20, U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue SW, 
Washington, DC 20585-0350. Because of delays in handling conventional 
mail, it is recommended that documents be transmitted by overnight 
mail, by electronic mail to [email protected], or by 
facsimile to (202) 586-8008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Energy (DOE) regulates 
exports of electricity from the United States to a foreign country, 
pursuant to sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the Department of Energy 
Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7151(b) and 7172(f)). Such exports require 
authorization under section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 
824a(e)).
    On October 8, 2014, DOE issued Order No. EA-264-C, which authorized 
ENMAX 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 authorization expires on October 8, 2019. 
On September 30, 2019, ENMAX filed an application with DOE for renewal 
of the export authorization contained in Order No. EA-264-C for an 
additional five-year term.
    The application states that ``ENMAX and its affiliates have no 
franchised service territory in the United States, nor do they own or 
control generation or transmission assets in the United States.'' The 
electric energy that the Applicant proposes to export to Canada would 
be purchased from third parties, such as Canadian utilities, power 
marketers and end-use customers, pursuant to voluntary agreements. The 
existing international transmission facilities to be utilized by the 
Applicant 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.
    Procedural Matters: Any person desiring to be heard in this 
proceeding should file a comment or protest to the

application at the address provided above. Protests should be filed in 
accordance with Rule 211 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
(FERC) 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 the above address in accordance with FERC Rule 214 (18 CFR 
385.214). Five (5) copies of such comments, protests, or motions to 
intervene should be sent to the address provided above on or before the 
date listed above.
    Comments and other filings concerning ENMAX's application to export 
electric energy to Canada should be clearly marked with OE Docket No. 
EA-264-D. An additional copy is to be provided directly to Jay Dyson, 
ENMAX Corporation, 141-50 Avenue SE, Calgary, AB T2G 4S7.
    A final decision will be made on this application after the 
environmental impacts have been evaluated pursuant to DOE's National 
Environmental Policy Act Implementing Procedures (10 CFR part 1021) and 
after DOE determines that the proposed action will not have an adverse 
impact on the sufficiency of supply or reliability of the U.S. electric 
power supply system.

for public inspection and copying at the address provided above, by
