Underground electrical infrastructure is gaining significance in response to urbanization and network densification, climate resilience requirements, and the broader energy transformation. However, even underground power systems are still regularly discussed within disciplinary silos, and there is little integration among engineering geology, geotechnical engineering, and electrical power engineering. This review establishes the concept of geo-electro systems for characterizing the subsurface environment where geological media, geotechnical behaviour, and electrical infrastructure are coupled and mutually dependent. The article is a synthesis of existing research on the geological and geotechnical constraints that influence buried cables, grounding, duct banks, cable tunnels, and underground substations, and pays special attention to the thermal behavior, ampacity, electrical resistivity, groundwater effects, deformation, corrosion, and lifecycle reliability. It also discusses the thermo-hydro-mechanical-electrical-chemical coupling mechanisms, system interfaces, strengths, and weaknesses of analytical, numerical, and data-driven models. It is based on this that the review argues that subsurface electrical infrastructure can no longer be considered a stand-alone resource buried in the ground, but rather a dynamic, coupled system in which performance changes with environmental and operational variations. This review proposes an integrative framework that links previously fragmented literature and enables more consistent design, risk assessment, monitoring, and future investigations. The review finds that subsurface power infrastructure needs to be resilient, efficient, and sustainable, which is only attainable through system-level integration.
