How far away is the utility pole from the house to be safe? Senior lawyers interpret the relevant legal provisions

With the acceleration of urbanization, power poles, as an important part of urban infrastructure, are spread all over the city. However, the safe distance between power poles and homes has always been a concern for residents. Is there a safety hazard if the power pole is too close to the house? How can we ensure that our homes are safe and secure? Today, we will explain the relevant legal regulations from the perspective of an experienced lawyer, so that you can have a more comprehensive understanding of the safe distance between power poles and your home.

First of all, we need to be clear that there is no universal standard for the safe distance between power poles and homes. This is mainly due to factors such as the height of the pole, the voltage level, and the topography of the poles. Therefore, in the specific operation, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive assessment according to the actual situation.

The law stipulates that:

In China, the safety distance between electric poles and residential buildings is mainly regulated by relevant laws and regulations such as the Regulations on the Protection of Electric Power Facilities. According to these provisions, buildings, structures and other facilities in the power facilities protection zone shall comply with the safety distance standards stipulated by the state. For buildings, structures and other facilities that do not meet the safety distance standards, the power facility construction unit has the right to require them to be demolished or take other safety measures.

However, these laws and regulations do not specify specific safety distance values, but require a comprehensive assessment on a case-by-case basis in practice. This has brought some trouble to the residents, and also allowed some criminals to take advantage of it.
