Impala Canada Transmission Line Expropriation - Land Interests (EB-2025-0286)
Official title: Expropriate - Land Interests - Transmission Line
Impala Canada Ltd. is seeking Ontario Energy Board approval to expropriate land interests for a transmission line. This is a formal regulatory proceeding where affected landowners and interested parties can participate.
Why This Matters
Own land in the path of this transmission line? This proceeding decides whether Impala Canada can expropriate your property interests. Even if you're not directly affected, expropriation cases set precedents for how energy companies acquire land for infrastructure.
What Could Change
If approved, Impala Canada would gain legal authority to acquire land interests needed for the transmission line, even without landowner consent. The OEB may impose conditions on compensation or construction methods.
Key Issues
- Should Impala Canada be granted expropriation authority for the transmission line?
- What are the impacts on affected landowners?
How to Participate
- Review the expropriation application and Notice of Hearing to understand the proposal.
- Review the Issues List to see what matters are being considered in this proceeding.
- Request intervenor status with the OEB if you wish to formally participate. See the North Star intervention request as an example.
