Land
At AltaLink, we appreciate being able to have our facilities on your land. You’re helping us provide 85 per cent of Albertans with electric transmission service. We recognize your stewardship on behalf of our province and thank you for it.
"It's important for those who have transmission facilities on their land to work around towers and lines safely."
As an independent company that owns and operates more than 13,000 kilometres of transmission lines and 300 substations, we are committed to ensuring the reliable supply of electricity to our customers and to working with those who have transmission facilities on their property.
Annual Structure Payments
Annual Structure Payments (ASPs) are ongoing, annual payments landowners receive per structure on their property.
How do you determine my ASP?
Factors we take into consideration when determining ASPs include:
- Loss of use of the area enclosed by the structure once operational.
- Inconvenience and additional cost associated with weed control.
- Additional time required to operate equipment around transmission line structure(s).
- Additional seed required.
- Overlap of pesticide/herbicide and fertilizer used when farming around the structure(s).
- Effects on cultivation.
- Intangible adverse effects.
Landowner ASPs are reviewed every five years to ensure we offer fair and reasonable compensation.
