This does make me wonder how difficult it is to raise the voltage on the same lines by changing transformers.
You might need to separate the lines more (and need bigger insulators), but I wonder how much of this gets overbuilt at the point of construction so you can upgrade to run more energy over the same wires without replacing them.
Anyone know?
