As mentioned above it is protected by a concrete shell. This is the same method used when you cannot get the underground power on land below 18".
There was a project about 8 years ago on Moosehead lake that the new owner of more than half of an island needed power for his monstrocity of a house and he paid to have the power cable run out to the island, the other owner of the rest of the island approached him and stated he would split the cost of the power and the new owner told him to get his own power. Imagine having him for a neighbor, he obviously was looking down the road to drive the other guy out. My engineering professor shared this story with us as he was the lead structural engineer on this project, take it for what it is worth, but the focus is that if you have the money you can get the power. It cost upwards of 40K to run the lines to that island. Exact location was not shared with us.
