As part of the NFU’s work on safety when working around OHPLs (overhead power lines), this survey was conducted in order to understand the state of the infrastructure across English farmland, and the challenges that those working in agriculture face with OHPLs.
Your answers will help give NFU policy advisers an insight into:
- the amount of infrastructure across English farmland
- the state of the infrastructure
- interaction with Distribution Network Operators who manage the infrastructure, and
- how you manage farming the land with the presence of the infrastructure.
This survey was anonymous, but responses may be used to help support NFU asks of the overhead power line industry and their representative bodies.
»Ê¼Ò»ªÈËappreciates the responses to the survey. The information provided will help to direct conversations with the Energy Networks Association and Distribution Network Operators, evidence the challenges faced by farmers, and feed into safety advice and communications with Distribution Networks Operators.
