Corrected Electricity Export Notice; Charity Revocations

Summary#

This Canada Gazette entry fixes a previous notice about an electricity export application from Castleton Commodities Energy Trading LLC and publishes a long list of charities that asked the Canada Revenue Agency to revoke their registered-charity status. The corrected export notice says the company applied on 2 December 2024 to export up to 3 504 000 MWh per year for 10 years; the charity revocations take effect on the Gazette publication date (February 15, 2025).

What it does#

• Corrects an earlier Canada Gazette notice so the public record accurately reflects that Castleton Commodities Energy Trading LLC applied to the Canada Energy Regulator on 2 December 2024 for permission to export up to 3 504 000 MWh of energy annually for 10 years.
• Lists hundreds of charities that requested to have their registrations revoked and informs the public that the Canada Revenue Agency sent notices of intention to revoke under the Income Tax Act. The revocations are effective on the date the notice appeared in the Gazette.

Who's affected#

• Castleton Commodities Energy Trading LLC and anyone tracking cross‑border electricity exports or markets.
• The Canada Energy Regulator, which will process the export application.
• The many individual charities named in the Gazette notice and the people and communities they serve. Examples from the published list include CENTRE D’AIDE ET D’INFORMATION POPULAIRE DE SOREL-TRACY, THE HOWARD J. REES FOUNDATION, and TRANSPORTS ACCES INC.
• Donors, clients, and partners of those charities, who may be affected by the loss of registered‑charity status.

Why it matters#

• For electricity markets: the corrected notice clarifies how much power the company wants to export and for how long. That can matter to market observers, provinces, utilities, and anyone watching cross‑border electricity trade.
• For the public and donors: when a charity’s registration is revoked, it loses official charitable status, which affects tax receipts for donors and may change how the organization operates. The Gazette notice is the formal public record of those changes.
• The Gazette does not explain why each charity asked for revocation, so the practical effect for each listed organization (for example, whether it has closed or reorganized) is not always clear from this notice alone.
