Explain your idea

First of all I would like to thank the producers of this mod for their great work!

I've been using your mod for a few years now, but in a different way.

I have supplied my entire city with electricity (even street lighting) and use self-built power stations and control cabinets.
So far I have partly used cables, which are available in your mod, but also Mekanism cables. The big disadvantage is that Mekanism cables are very unrealistic as they store electricity. I would like cables that can be laid underground and only transfer electricity like normal LV, MV, HV cables. This would enable a large new division to use this mod. You can create large power grids and transfer electricity over larger distances.
I work for a power grid operator, which is why your mod really inspired me to power my entire map!

I am using 1.18.2 Forge at the moment.
I hope I was able to inspire you with my idea!

Here are a few examples:

You can already lay IE wires underground. Just dig a tunnel for them.

We are never adding block-based energy conduits in any form. IE is defined by its wires, I see no reason to ever offer an alternative to them =)
