HB 2752 modifies Oklahoma's eminent domain rules for electricity providers, prohibiting the use of eminent domain for renewable energy facilities (like wind, solar, battery storage, or hydrogen projects) on private property. It requires electricity companies seeking eminent domain for high-voltage transmission lines (>300 kV) to first obtain a Certificate of Authority from the Corporation Commission. The bill directly affects electricity providers, private landowners, and renewable energy developers by restricting eminent domain access for renewables and adding a regulatory step for major infrastructure. It takes effect November 1, 2025.
