OKLAHOMA CITY — Two judges in northwestern Oklahoma have ruled for Oklahoma Gas and Electric in separate imminent domain cases over transmission lines.

OG&E wants to build a 112-mile-long transmission line to carry electricity from wind farms near Woodward to Oklahoma City.

Landowners argued OG&E would use the lines for private purposes because it wanted to sell much of the electricity out of state.

But judges in Blaine and Dewey County ruled Monday in separate cases that OG&E has shown its customers in Oklahoma would also benefit and the condemnation should be allowed.

An attorney for the landowners says an appeal is planned.
