Get an estimate of the electrical service cost if you are building a new home or remodeling.
A number of factors influence the costs for extending electric service for remodels and new construction.
The distance between where the meter will be on your home and the closest connection to the electric grid.
How power lines are - or likely will be - run from your home to the electric grid.
What type of electric facility (transformer, padmount) you will be connecting to on the electric grid.
Measure along an accessible path that you suspect the power lines would be constructed.
60' or less to nearest PGE transformer
Short overhead service connected to existing pole top PGE transformer.
Cost covered under PGE Line Extension Allowance.
Note: Traffic control, easements, and Permit costs not included in this estimate.
Short underground connected to existing pole top PGE transformer.
Cost covered under PGE Line Extension Allowance.
Note: Traffic control, easements, and Permit costs not included in this estimate.
Short underground connected to existing underground PGE transformer.
Cost covered under PGE Line Extension Allowance.
Note: Traffic control, easements, and Permit costs not included in this estimate.
Blue = Secondary (Low voltage) conductor/cable will need to be installed (solid = Overhead, dashed = underground)
Black = Existing PGE facility
200' or less to nearest PGE facility (that is not a transformer)
Short overhead service will need PGE pole top transformer installed.
Note: Traffic control, easements, and Permit costs not included in this estimate.
Short underground will need PGE pole top transformer installed.
Note: Traffic control, easements, and Permit costs not included in this estimate. This estimate does not include customer costs to trench and lay conduit for underground applications.
