It's better to just query the purpose of the wire with the energy
supplier and let them do the rest and not have a direct confrontation
with the neighbour.

That is truly the way out. Just play dumb and pretend that you think it is
actually the suppliers' cable, and ask them to come and explain its purpose,
and why it is lying on top of the ground.
