Impala Canada Seeks to Expropriate Land for Transmission Line (EB-2025-0286)
Official title: Expropriate - Land Interests - Transmission Line
Impala Canada Ltd. is asking the Ontario Energy Board for permission to expropriate land interests for a transmission line. This is a formal regulatory proceeding where affected landowners can participate. An intervenor called North Star has already filed evidence opposing or questioning the application.
Why This Matters
Own land near a proposed transmission line? This case could affect your property rights. Expropriation means a company can take land interests even if you don't want to sell. If you're a landowner in the affected area, this proceeding determines whether that can happen.
What Could Change
If approved, Impala Canada could acquire land interests for their transmission line without landowner consent. The OEB will decide whether the expropriation is justified and what conditions apply. Affected landowners would receive compensation, but the amount and terms are determined through the regulatory process.
Key Issues
- Should Impala Canada be granted the right to expropriate land for the transmission line?
- What are the concerns raised by the intervenor North Star?
- Are the proposed land interests necessary for the transmission line project?
