Alabama landowner fights $80,000 power line easement across 416 acres

A legal clash continues between Alabama Power and landowner Fenn Church over a transmission line easement. Alabama Power has appealed to the state Supreme Court after a judge refused its request for a temporary restraining order. Church is disputing the compensation for the easement while contesting the company's access to his property, as the work to construct a 74-mile transmission line faces potential delays threatening its May 2027 completion.
