The only way to get an exact estimate for your new service is to apply for new service and pay the engineering fee for one of our line designers to visit your location. After that visit, our line designer will be able to provide you with an accurate estimate for your specific project.
Below are sample estimates to help you get an idea on how much it might cost to establish a new service that requires construction of power lines based on distance to the service pole.
These are only samples and the cost for your specific project may differ. Factors that may also impact cost:
- Existing "take-off" poles from power line
- Meter loop costs, if included
- Taxes, if applicable
- Credits, if applicable
- Terrain
Cost Sample 1
80-ft Max Distance
~$3,000-4,300
This example shows a residential connection with an existing power line to connect a single phase with no more than 80-ft span between the meter pole and the transformer pole.This type of new service construction typically range from approximately $3,000-4,300.
Cost Sample 2
160-ft Max Distance
$3,750-5,100
This example shows a connection with an existing power line to connect a single phase with more than 80-ft span and not more than 160-ft needed to get to the service location requiring at least two poles.This type of new service construction typically range from approximately $3,750-5,100.
Cost Sample 3
200-ft Max Distance
~$4,500-6,300
This example shows a connection with an existing power line to connect a single phase with 200-ft distance needed to get to the service location requiring at least two poles. This connection requires primary line first, then secondary. This type of new service construction typically range from approximately $4,500-6,300.
Cost Sample 4
280-ft Max Distance
~$5,400-7,200
This example shows a connection with an existing power line to connect a single phase with 280-ft distance needed to get to the service location requiring at least three poles. This type of new service construction typically range from approximately $5,400-7,200
