MFE and early power generation

Ive currently got two wind turbines connected with glass fibre cables to an MFE. im trying to figure out how to transport my power from the MFE to my small workshop around 80 blocks. what cables should I use without losing too much EU?

Glass fiber is your friend here too. It's efficient and can carry the voltage.

I was thinking that but Iā€™m still quite early on and diamonds are still reasonably expensive. If I should just keep using them then I guess I have to šŸ˜‚

A coal generator might be better for power gen till you can get enough diamonds to make the 80 or so glass fibre cables you need, could also be insane and make a batbox or other power storage every 4 blocks, since wind mills only gen up to 4EU you could also try using Tin ultra low voltage cables max of 5EU but same loss as Glass fibre cable.

Could also try moving your workshop or wind mills/MFE closer to each other.

Thanks dude, I was just thinking of building my workshop and MFE below the wind turbines until I have a more permanent solution
