As the demand for electric power grows in Massachusetts, distributors are developing high voltage cable networks that are faster and more efficient. Overhead power lines have always been the preferred choice because of their affordable cost. However, in terms of performance and environmental acceptance, underground power lines are a more favorable alternative.
Underground high voltage cable networks are an ideal alternative for new construction or for specific applications mainly because of how they are installed and configured. The cables are located below the ground so the whole network is away from environmental stress that can negatively affect the performance. This is one reason why many overhead power lines are being replaced with underground networks, particularly in challenging urban settings or sensitive environments.
Underground high voltage cable installations in Wilmington, MA have additional advantages for power distributors. An underground network of high voltage cables is faster to install and offers environmental invisibility. These cables are strategically engineered to minimize energy loss, improve transmission reliability, and reduce risk of network failure.
