About this term

Existing power lines reduce development costs significantly. Remote properties may require expensive line extensions. Three-phase power availability affects commercial feasibility.

Pro Tip

Confirm power availability and distance to nearest lines before buying raw land. Expensive utility extensions can make projects uneconomical. Contact the power company early for estimates.

Example

Property with existing power lines at road edge requiring minimal extension cost.
