It is used here by Transpower / Electricorp etc as well (I used to work for the latter) - it dosn't go past transformers - but can quite easily be directed past these using suitable transducers etc. Should all be doable - but may be costly - don't really know.

I am sure something similar (data tx/rx not inet) was used over the National Grid in UK. If memory serves the only issue was secondary radiation from pylons disrupted aircraft navigation - it was a fixable thing though...
