Impala Canada Seeks to Expropriate Land for Transmission Line (EB-2025-0286)
Official title: Expropriate - Land Interests - Transmission Line
Impala Canada Ltd., an electricity wholesaler, 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 and the public can participate.
Why This Matters
Own land in the path of this transmission line? This proceeding could result in your property being expropriated. Even if you're not directly affected, expropriation cases set precedents for how energy companies can acquire land for infrastructure projects.
What Could Change
The Ontario Energy Board could grant Impala Canada the legal authority to expropriate private land for their transmission line. Affected landowners would receive compensation, but would lose control over whether to sell their property.
