SP Energy Networks is carrying out the project to upgrade 12.6km of overhead cables in Cupar.
In addition, 300 poles which help carry power across the area are also being improved.
A team of 25 engineers/technicians will install new insulated overhead line in and around the town. The project is scheduled to be completed in August.

The scheme is part of a major £150m investment in the Central and Fife District regions network, which is to be finished in 2023.
Peter Joyce, SP Energy Networks Head of Delivery Central and Fife District, said: "The work being carried out on the local electrical network involves upgrading both High voltage and Low voltage overhead lines, which are all supplied from the primary electrical substation in Cupar. The network has performed well over the course of its lifespan, but now requires modernisation and is being refurbished or replaced."
