That's more a manifestation of land use policy than any effect on plants.
One cannot build any sort of permanent structure (temporary(?) shadecloth
supports are ok, at least in Ventura County, California) in the power line
easement area.  THere aren't a whole lot of businesses, other than
farming/ranching which can tolerate this kind of restriction, particularly
in an urban area.  Hence the proliferation of wholesale nurseries,
christmas tree lots, etc. under power lines.
