Easements and rights of way

An easement is a grant of permission by a landowner that provides a legal right for Pacific Power to install electrical facilities, to access those facilities and to maintain and upgrade those facilities in the future.

We have developed the guide below for a better understanding of easements and how to go about getting one.
