House Bill No. 2752 amends existing laws regarding eminent domain, specifically for entities involved in providing electricity and natural gas. The bill clarifies that while these entities retain the right to exercise eminent domain, it explicitly prohibits the use of this power 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 introduces a requirement that any entity seeking to exercise eminent domain for electric transmission facilities rated over 300 kilovolts must first obtain a Certificate of Authority from the Corporation Commission. This amendment 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.
