The bill amends Title 15 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically Section 1511, which pertains to the powers of public utility corporations. A new subsection (b.1) is added, allowing these corporations to exercise their powers to condemn property necessary for providing service to a single customer or prospective customer. This action is permitted as long as the service aligns with the principal purposes outlined in subsection (a).
The bill aims to enhance the operational capabilities of public utility corporations by enabling them to secure property for individual customers, thereby potentially improving service delivery. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
