Tl;dr $155k to get power and a second 3” conduit (for comm.) 2,250 ft. underground. Here’s the breakdown of a project from this past summer. GMP charged $42k to go 2250’ underground. $12k of that was for cost sharing because this was an extension to an existing underground line. There were 4 peds and one 25kva transformer. Another company was hired to trench and install two 3” conduits the entire 2250’ length. That was about $98k of which $39k was conduit @ $8/ft. A 3rd company was paid about $15k to blast 200’ of ledge for the trench.

Wow, why not just go above ground at that point?

Expensive, to be sure, but running above ground has it's own risks and future costs, it's a gamble. And if you can afford to bury it correctly, then bury.
