Abstract :
The majority of distribution electricity networks were significantly developed in the 60´s and 70´s, requiring the installation of large amounts of MV cables during this period of time. The design life of cables is believed to be around 40-50 years even if most cables are proving to last significantly longer. As the condition of this underground asset is degrading, the utilities will see the investment level required increase in the coming years.
