- That runs alongside high-voltage lines.

It may look like ordinary high voltage lines-

There is also a risk that the existence of underground utilities, including high pressure gas lines, high voltage electric feeders and steam service below the construction area, conditions which were not previously assessed, could result in further cost escalation.

In addition, high-capacity electrical stations and high-voltage transmission lines to the main areas of population have been built.

The same day a 500-kV high-voltage transmission line, “Kavkasioni”, was exploded on the territory of the Muzhava village.

This cost can vary dramatically — from US$ 2,000 in India to US$ 18,000 in Mali — for a similarly configured kilometre of mid-voltage line.

Distribution, the third function, is the transport of electrical energy from the transmission network to final customers through medium- and low-voltage distribution lines.

In addition, today we are fully coordinating with the police forces in removing the mines from the 1,400 high-voltage power-line towers that we had to protect during my country's fight against terrorism.

High-voltage transmission lines across the EU and storagefacilities to overcome the problem of meeting basic energy demandswill be crucial, as will decentralized distribution grids andhigher investment in energy conservation.

Although technical losses can be minimized by the use of higher efficiency transformers and capacitors and the installation of improved control technologies, as well as the use of higher voltage lines, much of the loss is owed to theft and inadequate billing methods.
