Dominion Virginia Power is beginning an estimated $2 billion program to place about 4,000 miles of historically outage-prone electric power lines underground by 2026.
The task force already identified the cost to bury the cities remaining overhead power lines at 4 billion. Lets assume they were off by a factor or nearly 4 and it only costs one billion. Issue is, 70% of the cities electrical customers already have underground service, so you are spending 1 billion for 30% of the city.he lines are unsightly, and Pepco would often truncate the street's trees to keep them from disrupting lines. Plus, putting the lines underground would reduce the change of trees falling on the lines and knocking out power. Pepco told DDOT that it would cost $60 million to bury the lines along 12th.
