A local landowner has a planning application on the go at the moment on which he is claiming some 500m of 11KV overhead distribution cable is to be buried. Anyone any idea how much this will cost?

Cost me the best part of 30 grand IIRC of which the leccy company paid about 12k
Oh and that included a new transformer..
IIRC Getty paid for some overhead electricity supply to be diverted/re-rounted when there was a proposal for it to cross his property just north of Guildford.

Absolutely no idea.
But. A guy I know took up helicopter flying as a hobby and there were some
11KV lines along 2 sides of his property that made parking awkward. He came to an agreement with the power company that they supplied the cable and terminated the ends while he dug the trenches to their spec'. They inspected as he went along and seemed happy. From what I gathered at the time they covered the cost of the cable and he paid for the ground works and terminating. Maybe your land has struck a similar deal? If he already has the manpower and machinery it may be a lot cheaper than getting the board to do all the work.Join the Discussion
