Hey your video really helped me alot as i'm in East Texas and I had to budget cost for my new property. There's not a lot of information online which would break down costs. Here is my experience in 2024 - I had electricity already available in a neighboring property. I decided to run 2 poles which the 2nd one had the transformer on it. Famers electric charged me just under $5000 for this but also game me a $3000 allowance to use. So total came to roughly $2100. Then after this i just had to pay an electrician to come and hook up my electrical panel to a temporary pole. Hope this helps others.
In 1973 my parents ran a line 2200 feet to the house pad. It was $2,200 back then. And that included insulated wire. Last year PGE replaced all 7 poles. The job foreman told me just the new house pole and transformer was $42,500 and to build the line today would be about $350,000 !!!!
@@CarrascoRanchI have a question. Please answer me on the comments section. But also make a video. In what order should I put in the services? Mobile Home, septic, electric and water well? This order?
Hi I’m thinking of doing the same thing..how far were the sites of the grid ones to the electrical pole? And how did you get electricity powered to the domes without wires hanging above?
Great explanation and video what if the neighbors don't want to agree on an easement and the only way to run electricity is thru an easement but neighbors Don't want it what your opinion on what can be don't to get it to land
It's probably different as far as price for the setup since each electricity provider will charge differently. Personal cost after the service cost would roughly be about the same.
Great video Robert with some good info. I only saw three (3) poles in the video, was the distance between your poles only 325 ft? Were there more poles?
Great info bro straight to the point and covered all questions normal folks would ask! Price, distance and process!
Appreciate that! Glad it helped!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience as well!

Wow!!! That's insane!!!
I'll live like the Amish before I pay that 😂
Price gouging. There's no competition with these companies
In CZ 1km cost about about 40 000$ minimum. Either buried or on poles.
This is outside inhabited area +100m.

Definitely good info. Puts a little prospective on coat to go hunting and stuff.
Yes, definitely it's not cheap thats for sure.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
Very welcome!

Great video there is an electric meter already ran to the road do you know how much they would charge to get electricity ran a couple hundred feet
thanks for the insight..
Good to know moving out to Karnes City!

Informative. Thank you!
Very welcome!
Is this south Texas Eagle Ford? Or would this be comparable at all for west Texas Permian?
It's probably different as far as price for the setup since each electricity provider will charge differently. Personal cost after the service cost would roughly be about the same.
Great video Robert with some good info. I only saw three (3) poles in the video, was the distance between your poles only 325 ft? Were there more poles?
Yes, the distance was I believe 310- 320 or so. It was only those three.
Great video quick question though was that price due to the amount of poles you installed?
Thanks! Some of the cost was because of the number of poles used.
Thanks a lot brother- helpful
Very Welcome!
How tall are those poles? Thank you
I believe 30-35 feet in total
What is the minimum charge per month there when not being used?
$18
The electric company for my lot is not going to charge me anything as long as I run the conduit underground to their pole.
That's a sweet deal!
@@CarrascoRanch I thought so too! They said, run 2 inch conduit that's 24 inches deep, to their pole and they will run the wire for free!
Been 7 years and still can’t get electricity to my home, home is already 10-12 ultras old smh.
I hate the system…
Good Vedio thanks
No problem 👍
why do you need 400 amps if a house normally takes 200? good info tho. good stuff
Thanks for the question... so this is for multiple airbnb's and not for a home actually. @GeodomesofSouthTexas on Facebook you can check it out. 👍
Is there a mathematical formula for figuring the cost?
Not really as every company charges differently...
What state u in?
Texas
