[QUOTE="simme, post: 1668907, member: 40418"] Wow, That's a lot. I built a house 6 years ago. About 1200 feet from the power line at the highway. Co-op's new service connection fee of $300 gets you a transformer up to 175 feet from the house with underground line between them. They gave me two options for the additional distance - overhead on poles or underground. If you get a pole line, they cover several hundred feet at no additional cost. In my case, it would have cost me about $1500 additional for the long (1025 feet) pole line. For the underground option, they charged $5/foot. He told me that he was a little lenient on the distance if you were nice and not demanding. So, he "measured" my distance as 1000 feet and I paid $5000. No poles or guy wires through the pasture to look at or dodge with the tractor and sprayer booms. That $5000 was for material and installation. This is the high voltage line off the highway buried 3 feet deep in a poly tube, dug with an excavator. I thought that was very low cost. I guess they make it up on KW-Hours down the road. [/QUOTE]
