SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exports of

foreign country are regulated and

require authorization under section

202(e) of the Federal Power Act (FPA)

(16 U.S.C. 824a(e)).

On March 20, 2006, the Office of

Electricity Delivery and Energy

Reliability (OE) of the Department of

Energy (DOE) received an application

from Evergreen to transmit electric

energy from the United States to

Canada. Evergreen is a limited liability

company incorporated under the laws of

the State of Delaware. Evergreen is

indirectly owned and controlled by UPC

Wind Partners, LLC. UPS Wind

Partners, LLC is involved in the

development, ownership, operation, and

acquisition of wind generation in the

United States. Evergreen has requested

that an export authorization be issued

with a 10-year term.

Evergreen is developing a 28-turbine

wind generation facility, the Mars Hill

Project, in Aroostook, Maine. The

facility will be capable of producing 42

megawatts (MW), with a possible future

expansion to 49.5 MW. Evergreen is in

the process of negotiating power

purchase agreements with several

potential buyers; one is a Canadian

entity in New Brunswick Province.

Evergreen proposes to arrange for the

delivery of electric energy to Canada

over the existing international

transmission facilities owned by Maine

Public Service Company. The

construction, operation, maintenance,

and connection of the international

transmission facilities to be utilized by

Evergreen as more fully described in the

application, has previously been

authorized by a Presidential permit

issued pursuant to Executive Order

10485, as amended.

will not adversely impact on the

reliability of the U.S. electric power
