Landowner vs Alabama Power | Birmingham News

A Shelby County landowner is fighting back against Alabama Power’s proposed transmission line that would slice through his 416-acre property, claiming it invades his privacy and turns his private roads into a corporate thoroughfare. He argues the company is using eminent domain to force easements, bringing trucks and workers onto his land — despite offering three alternative routes that avoid his home. Alabama Power says they haven’t received his latest route proposal, but the landowner is seeking a preliminary injunction to halt access while legal proceedings continue. With public support on his side and a judge’s decision looming Thursday morning, this battle pits a determined homeowner against a utility giant — and could reshape how property rights clash with infrastructure needs.
