World · Wales proposes ban on steel pylons, pushing new power lines underground

The Welsh government has announced plans to ban traditional steel pylons for new electricity lines it controls, favouring underground cables, and launched a consultation on the policy on Friday. The move follows a fierce backlash against a proposed pylon network in the Towy Valley, with developer Green Gen Cymru warning that burying cables would be significantly more expensive.
