What does it cost to have power run in your area?
That's the question, now here's the story.
About 30-40 years ago we had electricity at an old house on the place. Then winter weather took the line down and since no one lived in the house it was decided to not have it repaired. Son is looking at having it rerun and then in a few years maybe build him a home close by.
Guy said if it's being run to a new home 1st 750 feet is free and $3 a foot thereafter. If it's being run to the barn lot 1st 125 feet is free and $3 thereafter, but if later build a house they'll refund the $3 X 625 foot difference. We'd have to clear a 30 foot right of way (15 feet each side of the line) before they'd start.
1700 feet = $5,100
I'm thinking a generator might be the way to go for a short term fix.
Just curious what the deal is in your area.
Thanks
