A new underground distribution line across most of PG&E's territory costs about $1.16 million per mile, according to data filed with state regulators during the utility's most-recent general-rate case. This's more than twice the price of a new overhead line costing about $448,800 per mile. Most of the difference comes from the expense of digging a trench for the cable. Prices rise within cities, where the work is more complex. A 2015 San Francisco report found recent costs for moving power lines underground in Oakland averaged $2.8 million per mile, while similar work in San Jose cost $4.6 million per mile. And burying high-voltage transmission lines—the kind usually strung from immense steel towers across long distances—can cost as much as $5 million per mile, according to PG&E.
