High voltage power cable are designed for distribution of electrical power with nominal voltage 500KV or below.

Concentric cables are generally used by distribution network operators linking electrical networks and towers to home or business. Suitable for direct burial, they are also used for sub-mains in high rise towers and street lighting systems.

AAC (all aluminum conductor) is the most economical bare overhead conductor due to its lighter weight. It offers easier handling during installation and use of simpler fittings. The wire is corrosion resistant due to its homogeneous construction.

Because it would add a lot of weight - and could very seriously risk breaking the lines for not much gain in benefit. It isn’t needed, the insulation, hence why the power towers are tall to keep the cables away from harming anybody.
