Prohibit the use of eminent domain to acquire certain privately owned electric generation facilities

Complete·4/17/26

Nebraska LB1261 prohibits eminent domain for acquiring privately owned electric generation facilities serving industrial customers.

Nebraska LB1261 amends the Reissue Revised Statutes to prohibit consumer-owned utilities from using eminent domain to acquire privately owned electric generation facilities constructed to serve industrial customers with a projected load greater than one thousand megawatts. The bill also repeals the original section 70-670, ensuring that such facilities are not subject to eminent domain. This change applies to contracts entered into before December 31, 2031.
