For a given load, the higher the supply voltage, the lower the resulting load current. So, using high-voltages in transmission systems (1) avoid enormous voltage drops along the line, (2) enable cables of realistic cross-sectional area and weight to be used, and (3) minimise line losses. So, high-voltage transmission requires less copper and avoid line losses -resulting in lower costs.
