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 Estimate 1

70-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 70-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 Estimate 2

    140-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 70-ft span and not more than 140-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 Estimate 3

    170-ft Max Distance

    ~$4,500-6,300

    This example shows a connection with an existing power line to connect a single phase with 170-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 Estimate 4

    240-ft Max Distance

    ~$5,400-7,200

    This example shows a connection with an existing power line to connect a single phase with 240-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
