House Bill No. 2752 amends the existing law regarding eminent domain as it pertains to the provision of electricity and natural gas in Oklahoma. The bill specifies that entities engaged in providing these services can exercise eminent domain, but it introduces new restrictions on its use. Notably, the bill prohibits the use of eminent domain for the siting or construction of renewable energy facilities, including solar energy facilities, battery storage facilities, hydrogen gas facilities, and other similar projects on private property.

Additionally, the bill requires that before any entity seeks to exercise eminent domain for electric transmission facilities rated over 300 kilovolts, they must first obtain a Certificate of Authority from the Corporation Commission. This new requirement aims to ensure that there is regulatory oversight before eminent domain can be invoked for significant energy infrastructure projects. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
