Streamlining Interstate Power Line Construction and Landowner Protections.

This act aims to simplify the construction of large-scale interstate electricity transmission lines. It introduces new procedures for obtaining permits and ensures enhanced protections and compensation rights for landowners whose properties are affected by these projects.
Key points
Facilitates the construction of large power lines (over 1000 megawatts) connecting multiple states, potentially improving renewable energy access and reducing grid congestion.
Landowners affected by proposed power lines will receive detailed notices about the project and their rights, including the ability to object and seek judicial review.
In cases of eminent domain, landowners have the right to an appraisal by their chosen appraiser (at the company's expense) and compensation for lost income and other damages.
The act imposes financial penalties on companies that materially misrepresent information to landowners and grants landowners the right to rescind transactions based on such misrepresentations.
Landowners can seek legal recourse if projects are not completed on time or if the company violates the terms of its certificate.
