Getting hooked up to the electrical grid.

Your best option is going to be to contact the utility company directly. They will have a construction designer who will be able to look at your property and let you know what it will cost to connect to the grid (or if it’s even possible). If the power is coming from overhead, the utility company will typically do all of the work to get the power from the pole to your new electrical panel. If the power is going to come from underground, you may need a private contracting company to run the conduit then the utility company will come and pull the lines through to your new panel. But first step is to talk to the utility provider directly and let them tell you what is possible.

No utility will tell you NO but the farther you are away from main line the higher the cost to you will be.
