Just for clarification, the $1700 I gave to Fortis was for a primary line - my service is at the end of 6 poles - 1/4 mile of travel.
The only explanation for the low install cost I can come up with is the astronomical fixed charge that came with my "farm" service - my fixed charges are min. 3X my usage.
Oh, and BTW, the gas utility system is not done by magic either and my gas bills are smaller than electrical. The fixed charges for gas are 1/4 the usage!
