    Hello, who is responsible for the land underneath low voltage power lines - i.e ensuring it does not get overgrown for access/maintenance etc - is it ESB or the landowner? 


    Thanks.

    I would say the landowner is responsible as its his/her land.

    The exception being that ESB networks will do any timber cutting under or around the lines that is needed.
