Description

Preferred Cable Paths are designated routes identified for the installation of cables and pipelines. These paths are crucial for supporting infrastructure projects such as wind energy farms and telecommunications.

By carefully planning and managing these routes, authorities aim to ensure efficient and safe installation while minimizing environmental impact and avoiding conflicts with other activities. Proper management of these paths helps balance the need for infrastructure development with the conservation of ecosystems.
