Installation of Manufactured homes in proximity of Transmission

Installation of Manufactured homes in proximity of Transmission Line Rights of Way

The intent of this training is to partner with the AMHC and manufactured housing professionals.

Southern Company nor any of its OPCo’s (Alabama Power, Georgia Power, Gulf Power, & Mississippi Power) allow permanent structures, (including manufactured homes) on its Rights of Way (even for temporary storage)

Manufactured Homes being placed on ANY Transmission Line Rights of Way could put both your customers, our customers, your employees, and our employees, in a HAZARDOUS situation. We need your help in preventing these situations!!!

Alabama Power Company Transmission Line Rights of Way are anything but a “typical width.” And that line can be situated anywhere within the right of way Transmission Line H-Frame Structure 50' 25' 100' 25'

In many cases, Alabama Power is not clearing the full extents of its Transmission Line Rights of Way! BE CAREFUL HERE!

We need your help! IF the landowner is wanting to place their home on the Transmission Line Rights of Way, tell them they need to call Alabama Power and make sure the home is not on its Rights of Way.

We need your help! IF you do not feel comfortable telling the landowner this, then call one of Alabama Power’s local Right of Way Specialists. We will treat your call as critical and visit the site ASAP.

We need your help! You do not need to have any “tough” conversations with the landowners; just make Alabama Power aware and we will handle it from there.
