A U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Presidential permit is required to construct an electric transmission line across the U.S. international border. On February 27, 2001, Baja California Power, Inc. (hereafter referred to as Intergen), InterGen Aztec Energy, V.B.V., filed an application with DOE, Office of Fossil Energy, for a Presidential permit that would allow construction and connection of a double-circuit, 230-kV transmission line extending from the Imperial Valley Substation in California for a distance of about 6 mi (10 km) to a point west of Calexico at the U.S.-Mexico border.
