2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 7 - Municipalities|Chapter 101 - Municipal Gas and Electric Plants|Section 7-224 - Purchase by municipality of plant owned by a corporation.

 When any municipality decides to establish a plant and any corporation incorporated by the General Assembly for the purpose of furnishing gas or electric light, heat or power is, at the time of the first vote required for such decision, engaged in the business of making, generating or distributing gas or electricity, for sale for lighting purposes to consumers in such municipality, such municipality shall, if such corporation elects to sell and comply with the provisions of this chapter, before establishing its plant, purchase of such corporation such portion of its gas plant and property suitable and used for such business or in connection therewith, if the municipality has decided to establish a gas plant, or of its plant for electric lighting, and property suitable and used for such business or in connection therewith, if such municipality has decided to establish an electric lighting plant, as has, at the time of the first vote, been in use in or acquired for such business in such municipality. If, in any such municipality, a single corporation owns or operates both a gas plant and an electric plant, such purchase shall include both of such plants. For the purposes of this chapter, such municipality may purchase such gas plant or electric plant or both, whether the same is located within or without the limits of such municipality, provided such plant is being used for the purpose of making, generating or distributing gas or electricity for sale for lighting purposes in such municipality.(1949 Rev., S. 721.)

 When a portion only of the gas or electric plant of any corporation would, under section 7-224, be included in a purchase by any municipality, such municipality shall, at the election of the owner or owners of such plant, similarly purchase all of such plant, instead of only the portion thereof employed as aforesaid in such business, for the benefit of consumers in such municipality. If such municipality believes the election of the owner of such plant last above provided for to be unreasonable, such municipality may, within thirty days after such election has been communicated to it, petition the superior court for the judicial district in which such municipality is located, for relief, and said court may, upon due hearing, if it finds such election unreasonable, modify such election and make such orders in the premises, including orders relative to the amount of property to be purchased, as it deems reasonable, and such municipality shall comply with such orders before establishing its plant for electric or gas lighting under the provisions of this chapter. Such municipality, upon such a purchase hereunder of the whole of any such existing plant, may thereafter continue to employ such remaining portion thereof, then used for the benefit of consumers, without such municipality, for its former uses and purposes, under the same powers, rights and liabilities with respect thereto as its previous owner enjoyed and was subject to.(1949 Rev., S. 722; P.A. 78-280, S. 2, 127.)History: P.A. 78-280 substituted “judicial district” for “county”.

No municipality shall be obliged by the provisions of this section to buy any apparatus or appliances covered by letters patent of the United States or embodying a patentable invention, unless the complete right to use the same and all other apparatus and appliances necessary for such use is assigned or granted to such municipality at a cost as low as the cost of such right would be to the corporation whose plant is purchased.(1949 Rev., S. 724.)
