[QUOTE="JxxxOxxxE, post: 1969477, member: 388"] Does anyone know anything about electric co-ops? I am in Eastern Oklahoma County, Harrah city limits... Someone told me that electric power providers had been deregulated, therefor I may be able to get a different electric provider? Am I required to use OG&E? I know some friends of mine that live bout 3-4 miles north of me have CVEC, and a friend that lives about 10 miles north has CREC... The main reason I am asking is because I am needing some new service ran approximately 1500' at my family's future home site. It will have a substantially sized shop with matching house...I could be ready to build the shop within a year, but the house probably not for 3-4. I would be hooking a 3 hp well pump up now to run 24/7, which may run $200 a month alone.. OG&E has given me a bid for underground service that seems a little ridiculous to me, especially when I could be looking at a $800-$1000 monthly bill for 30+ years once construction is finished. OG&E also wont currently let me do the labor of trenching and back filling to save some costs, they contract it all out, apparently for liability issues..I would think I could trench it, and they would inspect the trench as they laid in the wire.....I wonder if I could get licensed and bonded by the state for a one time job at my site...???? Surely I'm not the first person in this situation? Anyone out there with experience? [/QUOTE]
