You have the right to own and pay property taxes, and enjoy the use of the easement area, but you cannot build anything or plant trees within it that would interfere with the power companies use of the easement to access their lines, poles, and equipment.
No. You need to obtain a release of the easement from the utility company before you build anything on the portion that was affected by the power station and lines. The company can always reinstall new equipment within the easement area and demand that you remove any structures you have installed in violation of their easement rights. Try contacting their right of way or easement department to determine if and how you may obtain a release of their rights in your property. In Massachusetts the utility companies charges for researching and releasing an easement that is no longer used can run from $500-$1500. Some companies will not release an easement that is not being used.
It depends on the nature of the easement. You need to get a copy of the easement from your county records office, and see what rights it gives the neighbor to build on the easement. Odds are, if it's a utility easement, it belongs to the utility company alone. See a real estate attorney for detailed information on your state's laws.
Your title would need to be researched to determine if an easement was granted in years past. Utility easements are often not recited in deed descriptions. Failure to recite the easement does not mean the easement doesn't exist. Grants by property owners are not the only method by which utility companies acquire rights. In some cases, easement rights were taken by eminent domain. In some cases the utility was permitted to construct a ROW by virtue of a legislative act. In that case, it would have an easement. You should speak with an attorney in your area before you construct anything within the limits of the power line. An attorney who specializes in real estate law would be familiar with the local practices. If you build a garage within the power line ROW and later find the utility did have an easement it can and will demand the garage be removed.
Your question requires a lot more detail. Generally, you cannot build a wall that would restrict access to the area of the property subject to the easement. An easement allows people other than the owners of property to use the property for a specific purpose (commonly easements are granted to give neighboring property owners access to a road). If you recently purchased the property subject to the easement you are not allowed to build a wall which would restrict the easement owner's access to the property.If you are asking if you can construct a wall on the other side of an easement upon property you do not own, the answer is no. You have the right of egress and possibly to maintain it, but does not give you the right to construct a wall on the ajoining property outside of the easement which you do not own.See discussion page.
You need to review the language set forth in the document that created the easement to determine exactly what rights were granted. Generally, an ingress-egress easement does not include the right to place any structures on the easement area.

Generally, the easement will be considered to be the dominant estate--simply put, the holder of the easement interest can prevent usage of the surface in any manner inconsistent with the puroses for which the easement was granted. That is a question of fact. As frustrating as it may be for the servient owner (the holder of the fee interest), that right is granted to the easement holder upon acquisition.

The customary way of appraising an easement to is valuate the land as if unencumbered by the easement and the land as encumbered; the difference between the two values is the value of the easement.
