What is the difference between overhead and underground power distribution, and why is the choice important?

2025-08-12

The choice between overhead and underground power distribution depends on various factors like location, cost, and environmental considerations.

  • Overhead Systems: These lines are mounted on utility poles. They are generally more cost-effective to install and repair. However, they are more vulnerable to weather damage and can have a greater visual impact.

  • underground Systems: These systems use cables buried beneath the surface. They offer enhanced reliability and are more resilient to extreme weather. They are also aesthetically preferred in urban areas. However, their initial installation and repair costs are significantly higher.
