On this page, you'll find guidance and support for working near our electricity transmission assets, including overhead lines and underground cables.
Are you proposing, scheduling, or designing developments close to our electricity transmission assets? Our electricity assets include overhead lines, pylons, underground cables, and transmission substations.
For electrical assets, we do not authorise or agree safe systems of work with developers and contractors. However, we will advise on issues such as electrical safety clearances and the location of towers and cables. We also work with developers to minimise the impact of any of our assets that are nearby.
You can find out more about the basic safety and location of our assets by downloading our guidance document for working near electricity equipment.
If you spot a potential hazard on or near an overhead electricity line please call the 24-hour electricity emergency helpline :
Follow these steps:
do not approach any hazard, even at ground level - keep as far away as possible
