- A study in the State of North Carolina (USA) found that it would cost approximately $41 billion and would take 25 years to bury all the power lines in the state. The results of studies in this area are that the costs of burying power lines are generally cost-prohibitive. The cost becomes more reasonable if an entire development is being excavated and the power lines can be buried as part of this process. Another exception is in large cities where above ground space is at a premium and the underground infrastructure exists.
