Sec. 7-226. Determination of plant value. The price to be paid for such plant,
whether gas, electric or both, shall be its fair market value for the purposes of its use,
no portion of such plant to be estimated at less than its fair market value for any other
purpose, including as an element of value the earning capacity of such plant, based upon
the actual earnings being derived from such use at the time of the final vote of such
municipality to establish a plant, and also including the market value of any other locations or similar rights acquired by the owners of such plant or plants, intended and
adapted for use in connection with such plant or plants, to be sold less the amount of
any mortgage or other encumbrance or lien to which such plant or plants or any part
thereof may be subject at the time of the transfer of title; but such municipality may
require that such plant or property shall be transferred to it free and clear of any mortgage
or lien, unless the Superior Court, through its special commission as provided in section
7-228, otherwise determines.
