The bill, presented by Senator Sal N. DiDomenico, authorizes the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance to grant easements to NSTAR Electric Company, doing business as Eversource Energy. This easement is intended for the purposes of clearing land and constructing, maintaining, and operating electric transmission and distribution lines, as well as related infrastructure. The bill specifies that the easement will be subject to conditions determined by the commissioner of capital asset management and maintenance in consultation with the commissioner of the department of conservation and recreation. The easement's location is to be finalized based on a survey of the land, which is currently managed for conservation and recreation purposes.

In exchange for the easement, NSTAR Electric Company is required to compensate the Commonwealth through the transfer of land or monetary payment equivalent to the fair market value of the easement, as determined by an independent appraisal. The bill also includes provisions to ensure no net loss of protected lands, allowing the Commonwealth to accept a specific parcel of land in Wendell for conservation purposes as part of the compensation. Additionally, the bill mandates that all appraisals be reviewed by the inspector general, and it outlines the responsibilities of NSTAR Electric Company for covering costs related to the easement process.
