    Are you going to bury the cable or run it overhead? A total of 300 ft+. Is a pretty expensive proposition. Will the local power company run another pole and wire to a separate meter? 2/0 is

    I was going to run underground I talked to the power company. He said I would have to buy the pole and get a electrician to set the box and run everything. Then have it inspected. Then they would come out for 250.00 and run the line. 125.00 to set the meter. 17.00 a month plus kilowatt usage.
