Electricity Transmission Costing Study

A study on the comparative costs of new electricity infrastructure.

This report analyses the whole life costs of installing and maintaining new high voltage transmission circuits under the ground, under the sea and over ground.

The report’s remit purely relates to engineering costs. Although it does acknowledge the aesthetic, human and environmental impacts, it makes no analysis of these areas.

Research and production of the report was conducted by engineering consultancy Parsons Brinckerhoff, in association with Cable Consulting International, who collated and assessed a broad range of data from manufacturers, installers and operators.

The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) provided quality assurance of the report.
