Hi there. I'm in the final stages of purchasing a building plot. I've sent off the online application to get my estimate from SSE regarding the cost of connection to the electricity grid and it can take 2 weeks. I can't wait that long thinking about the potentially horrific cost. Could anyone with a cup half full outlook give an idea of what it could cost based on a description?
So the plot is at the end of a row of houses. The electricity poles are on the opposite side of the road. The supply cable crosses the road from the last pole and into the last house. After the last house there is a privately owned track then the plot. I'd estimate the distance between the last pole and the nearest piece of the plot to be 60m
I've tried a couple of the power companies online estimators but I can't believe it could cost that much
(in excess of £15,000).
Surely not.
Thanks, Jonny.
