Can I petition to have a power line or substation moved away from my property?

Has anyone else gone through something similar?

Is there even a way to fix this...

What exactly are you trying to relocate?

I moved my rooftop antenna mount from a building slated for demolition—swapping out the Comcast equipment—and it was a breeze. I just filed the request, and everything was sorted within two or three days.

But if you're looking to move a high-voltage transmission line, or heaven forbid, a substation? Good luck. You aren't going to like how that movie ends.

So then you've got this house sitting right under some massive high-voltage power lines, but get this—it’s not even zoned correctly or has some sketchy permit issues, right?
