We are trying put together an initial budget for some alternate energy projects. Does anyone have a "rule of thumb" or SWAG for a budget to install buried 36KV power cables (2/0 conductors) along a major state highway (2 lane plus shoulders). We need to get the power from the alternate energy source back to a connection point on the local distribution grid. I am trying to develop a Rough Order of Magnitude project plan that we can refine as the project progresses.
