DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

[OE Docket No. EA-430]


Application to Export Electric Energy; Calpine Energy Services, 
L.P.

AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, DOE.

ACTION: Notice of application.

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

SUMMARY: Calpine Energy Services, L.P. (Applicant or CES) has applied 
for authority to transmit electric energy from the United States to 
Mexico pursuant to section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act.

DATES: Comments, protests, or motions to intervene must be submitted on 
or before November 14, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, motions to intervene, or requests for 
more information should be addressed to: Office of Electricity Delivery 
and Energy Reliability, 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: 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 Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 
824a(e)).
    On September 27, 2016, DOE received an application from CES for 
authority to transmit electric energy from the United States to Mexico 
as a power marketer for a five-year term using existing international 
transmission facilities.
    In its application, CES states that it does not own or control any 
electric generation or transmission facilities, and it does not have a 
franchised service area. The electric energy that CES proposes to 
export to Mexico would be surplus energy purchased from third parties 
such as electric utilities and Federal power marketing agencies 
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 
Procedures (18 CFR 385.211). Any person desiring to become a party to 
these proceedings should file a motion to intervene at the above 
address in accordance with FERC Rule 214 (18 CFR 385.214). Five 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 CES's application to export 
electric energy to Mexico should be clearly marked with OE Docket No. 
EA-430. An additional copy is to be provided to both Sarah G. Novosel, 
Calpine Corporation, 875 15th Street NW., Suite 700, Washington, DC 
20005, and Neil L. Levy, KING & SPALDING LLP, 1700 Pennsylvania Ave. 
NW., Washington, DC 20006.
    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 a determination is made by DOE 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.
    Copies of this application will be made available, upon request, 
for public inspection and copying at the address provided above, by 
accessing the program Web site at http://energy.gov/
