- What Is a Right of Way?
- We have a responsibility to deliver power safely and reliably. To do this, we must remove any natural vegetation growth, such as trees, that could pose a danger to the power lines and public safety.
- Distribution Rights of Way
- Distribution lines carry power from local substations to homes and businesses. Distribution rights of way are those associated with these distribution lines.
- Transmission Rights of Way

- Before You Plant
- Before you plant a tree or shrub, make sure the location is out of the way of overhead and underground power lines and other utilities.
