Underground cables are especially effective at helping power transmission projects to cross areas where there are environmental sensitivities. These include areas that are:

  • Close to homes, schools, and other human habitation
  • Of outstanding visual value, either historical or natural
  • Crucial to wildlife habitation and migration
  • Environments that present natural obstacles, such as waterways

Underground cables are able to address these sensitivities as they offer:

  • No visual damage after installation
  • The ability to engineer external fields to almost zero
  • No physical obstacle to animals or birds
