Receive details of work on power cables near you

IF you own a property or land that has high voltage electricity lines running over, or under, it, a new website has been launched to help keep you in touch with work taking place on them.

Info travaux sur les lignes RTE enables people to register an account and provide details of the high voltage cables near them.

The service covers work on the réseau haute et très haute tension (RTE), which are lines between 63 kV and 400 kV, dealing with both pylons and underground cabling.

Pylons have large red coloured plates on them showing a registration number and it is this that you enter into the website to receive information in the future.

Then when vegetation clearance, repair work or painting of the towers takes place, registered users will receive details of when the workforce are in the area.

This new service will run in conjunction with public notices made available in the mairie and local press.
