Prohibit the use of eminent domain to acquire certain privately owned electric generation facilities

Summary

The bill stops consumer‑owned utilities and public power districts from using eminent domain to seize privately owned electric generation facilities that are renewable or built to serve a single industrial customer larger than 1,000 MW. It keeps districts’ power to acquire other electric infrastructure but adds protections for private renewable projects and large industrial plants, requiring specific contracts, approvals, and cost payments. The change aims to safeguard private investment and limit government takeover of certain power assets.
