38 minutes ago38 min Hi Everyone,Received quotes back from DNO for New Build, they have come in at over 16k for single phase, 23kVA import capacity with 25kVA transformer or over 23k for 3 phase, 40kVA import capacity with 100kVA transformer.Both require a post and relevant transformers. Power lines run along one side of our plot so distance isn't a factor. Our set up will be 12Kw ASHP21 x 510w solar panels12Kwh back up batteryFast charge EV chargerInduction Hob Small workshopUsual household appliances etc.These costs seem excessive, frustration is there is already 3phase to existing barn but we cannot use this to reduce cost according to DNO, their quote to upgrade existing transformer came in more expensive.My question is, do we go with the single phase or 3 phase given this is our only source of power and we want to future proof as much as possible?Quote between contestable and non-contestable costs are less than 1k so not sure where savings can be made.
Just now1 min Is the barn yours and on the same site ?If so I do not understand why you cannot come from there.Is it worth talking to your electrician?
