Easement right valuation for electric power tranmission lines

Abstract

Expropriation costs in power transmission line projects reach quite high amounts. Expropriation on these lines is done in two ways as property expropriation and easement right expropriation. Property expropriation is carried out for pylon places and transformer stations. Easement rights are established in cases where an energy transmission line passes over the parcel. In this case, there is no loss from ownership but there is a restriction on usage. For this reason, the decrease value is determined for easement rights and this decrease is paid to the owner. In this contribution, the studies have been carried out on which factors affect the amount of decrease and how the decrease should be determined. For this purpose, factors affecting decrease rate were determined together with their weights, and scoring principles were developed for each factor. Later, a sample application was made to explain the issue and the determined price was compared with the court fee and market value.
