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 bid for your specific project.

Below are sample projects to help you get an idea on how much it might cost to establish new service that requires construction of power lines and the necessary equipment.

These are only samples and the cost for your specific project may differ. Please note that these amounts do not include applicable taxes or fees which can vary by county. Meter loop pricing may vary or change without notice.
