For the longer links between our on-site substation and the primary electricity substation, it's much more economical to use aluminium rather than copper however... Unfortunately it's not as conductive, so it's easier to run more thinner cables rather than one huge thick cable. Hope that makes sense :-) The cabling between the on-site substation and our HV/LV transformer is indeed one big thick copper cable.
