SMECO to Collaborate with LS Cable in Underground Cable Network Project

Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative (SMECO) will soon be getting underground cables and connectors for the power transmission and distribution networks SMECO operates, thanks to LS Cable’s $12.7 million deal to supply high-voltage underground cables to the United States.  The project will create an extra high-voltage cable network across the Patuxent River for a length of 1.5 kilometers at the riverbed.  Underground cables are now preferred to above-ground electric cables for environmental and safety reasons.  Read more here.
