If the power company has made the land unusable by misplacing the transmission lines then the power company is responsible for reimbursing the owners for the use of their property. Also the power company would be responsible for any persons injured by this action.

Depends. If National Grid put that thing up a goodly number of years ago (it's about ten in my state) and occupied it without protest from the underlying owner, then they have effectively a sort of "squatters" easement on the property. It's sort of like letting everyone use the back thirty feet of your property to get in and out of their place, even though they have other means to do so. Eventually, they acquire a common law "right" in your land, if they do so without express permission.
I spent twenty five years as a title examiner, and we expressly excluded such things from coverage, since they could not be determined from the legal record on file with the county.
