Connecticut General Statutes Title 16. Public Service Companies § 16-243. Jurisdiction of authority over electricity transmission lines

The Public Utilities Regulatory Authority shall have exclusive jurisdiction and direction over the method of construction or reconstruction in whole or in part of each system used for the transmission or distribution of electricity, with the kind, quality and finish of all materials, wires, poles, conductors and fixtures to be used in the construction and operation thereof, and the method of their use, including all plants and apparatus used for generating electricity located upon private property upon which there are conductors capable of transmitting electricity to other premises in such manner as to endanger any person or property. The authority may make any order necessary to the exercise of such power and direction, which order shall be in writing and entered in the records of the authority. Each person or corporation operating any such system or generating plant shall, at its expense, comply with such order. Any person violating any provision of any such order shall be subject to the penalty prescribed in section 16-41.
