Watermill wiring problems

So I'm currently in fairly early game so I just set up two water mill towers wired together with ultra low voltage cable to an MFE. When I first did this the MFE was fairly close to the mills but now that I've built a separate machinery house with all my electrical stuff under the floor, the cable has to travel a little bit more to reach my energy storage. The problem I'm running into now is that my MFE and Batbox aren't being charged! I've included a couple of pictures just to show you what I mean. Any ideas?

I'm not sure about the eu loss on tin cables, but I know it's quick and watermill EU generation is very low.

Tin cables lose 1 eu for every 40 blocks, watermills produce less than 1 eu so if you have more than 40 blocks of cable you will get nothing. To avoid this put a LV Transformer\Batbox\MFE within 40 blocks of the mills and then use different cable for the run after it since tin will not take anything over 5 eu packets
