(a) The amount of damages payable to a property owner for the use of an electric easement by an electricity supplier for communications infrastructure is limited to an amount sufficient to compensate the property owner for the reduction in value of the property owner's real property caused by the attachment or installation of communications infrastructure within the electric easement. Evidence of revenues, profits, or any other fees derived by an electricity supplier from installing communications infrastructure in an existing easement, or evidence of the revenues, profits, or any other fees derived from the operation of such equipment, is not admissible for any purpose in any proceeding under this chapter.
(b) If an appraisal performed under this chapter proves no reduction in value to the property owner's real property, the property owner is not entitled to damages.
