I'm doing this job in the east county area of San Diego,some of the lots there are gigantic (5 acre minimum size for single family residence is not rare)and as land values go up in the city more and more people are going out to the more remote and,lets say difficult areas.
The electric company will allow running a High voltage feed and a pad mounted transformer(supplied by them)to the tune of something like $40000.00.Not a really good deal for the home owner.


Wow. I know labor is a bit more expensive in PRK, but geez.

Assuming you can get a primary meter set-up, I don't see any reason that you couldn't get my suggestion done for $10k or less barring difficult trenching conditions. A padmount will run you about a $1-1.5k. ~$3/ft on 1/0AXN-J primary cable. Another $3/ft for a 100' 4/0UTA service entrance and say $500 for a kit for the elbows, bushings, secondary bars, etc. That may leave you another ~$5k for labor and trenching, not counting what it would normally cost you to wire a new house.
