INTRODUCTION
Introduction
• A power line is a structure used in Single circuit with
single earth wire
Double circuit with Double circuit with
electric power transmission and double earth wire
(operating)
double earth wire
(under
distribution to move electrical energy construction)
inside the system and to customers.
• Considering the environmental

conditions, geography, sensitivity, and
cost, power lines are either made:
• Overhead or
• Underground.

Underground
The second phase of the scheme to ‘rewire London’.
Works on this phase include installing 200km of 400kV

cables within a 32.5km tunnel network deep underground
between Wimbledon and Crayford.
Cable installation will begin in January 2023 with the full

package of works expected to be completed in 2026.
