Connecticut General Statutes Title 7. Municipalities § 7-233k. Eminent domain

If a municipal cooperative is unable to agree with the owner or owners of real or personal property upon the terms for the acquisition of the same for any reason whatsoever, then the municipal cooperative may acquire, and is hereby authorized to acquire, all real or personal property that it deems necessary for carrying out the purposes of this chapter, whether a fee simple absolute or a lesser interest, by condemnation or the exercise of the right of eminent domain, under and pursuant to the provisions of part I of chapter 835  1 and related statutes; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the municipal cooperative shall have no power of eminent domain with respect to any real or personal property owned by an electric utility, nonmember municipal electric utility or any other public or private electric power entity and used in connection with a system or plant of such electric utility, nonmember municipal electric utility or any other public or private electric power entity. The power of a municipal cooperative to acquire real or personal property by condemnation or the exercise of the power of eminent domain shall be a continuing power and no exercise thereof shall be deemed to exhaust it.
