According to google…
Grant County, Washington: Grant County Public Utility District filed condemnation lawsuits against local property owners to seize portions of private farms and homes for a planned transmission line explicitly designed to route additional electrical capacity to Quincy, Washington’s major data center hub. A state judge ruled in favor of the public utility's right to condemn the property for the transmission upgrade.Georgia: Georgia Power initiated proceedings to acquire over 300 parcels of land from residential and private property owners for a 35-mile transmission line corridor. Public disclosures and utility filings indicated that roughly 70% to 80% of the electrical capacity on the new line was designated to feed data centers supporting artificial intelligence expansion rather than local residential needs.Virginia: Major utility providers like Dominion Energy have routed high-voltage lines—such as projects tied to Northern Virginia's heavy data center demand—across private residential yards, utilizing state-level regulatory approvals and utility eminent domain frameworks to establish large transmission poles over the objections of homeowners.
