  • Transmission lines and generating facilities
    • $250 (plus applicable taxes) for a lease for residential purposes or an authorization request made by an individual
    • $500 (plus applicable taxes) for an authorization request made by a business
    • $500 (plus applicable taxes) for a lease for commercial purposes or to reduce or revoke a servitude for an individual or a business
