Scope

Tasks

  • Identify serving utility (likely NH Electric Co-op or Eversource)
  • Call utility and request site visit for new service estimate
  • Provide exact pole distance and terrain description
  • Request written estimate including: pole/transformer, overhead line, meter base, connection fees
  • Ask about timeline from deposit to energized service

Acceptance Criteria

  • Written or emailed estimate received from utility
  • Estimate includes total capital cost to hook up
  • Estimate includes monthly base charges and per-kWh rate
  • Distance from nearest pole documented
  • Quote uploaded to this issue

Cost Context

Rural NH hookups typically $4,000-20,000+ depending on distance and terrain.
