There have been many scientific studies published over many years, all round the world, discussing the risk from high-voltage power lines. Some studies allege a link to childhood leukaemia, but none appear to be proven - hence new housing developments in the UK regularly being allowed to be built under electricity pylons.
I have never heard of any health issues with low voltage electricity power lines (and a quick google search couldn't find any), so I would hope that is reassuring.
There are two factors to consider - do they emit a faint humming noise and, if so, would this annoy you over time? And, are they unsightly, not just to you, but would they impact any future re-sale of the property?
Hope this helps.
