ᐅ Are the costs for the electrical house connection justified?

Hello everyone,

We are building a house in Brandenburg and have now received the cost estimate from the local utility provider. However, I find the prices somewhat high. Could you please take a look:

The house connection is calculated as follows (edis):
Network connection from the house connection pillar up to 100 A = 1023.27 euros
Commissioning of the network connection = 108.40 euros
Additional length 32 meters (105 feet) = 817.28 euros
Total gross: 2319.25 euros

Then there is construction power calculated for 60 days = 550 euros

Additionally, we are supposed to pay separately for the connection from the house connection pillar into the house. Costs for this are not yet known.

I find these prices extremely excessive.

A brief note about the house:
The house is about 45 meters (148 feet) away from the property boundary.
We are building a simple one-and-a-half-story house with an air source heat pump.

I would appreciate any feedback.

The price also seems quite reasonable due to the additional length.

You can check their catalog, it should be available on their website, and compare the prices.
But why 3000? For the grid connection, you’re looking at around 1000, which is quite normal. Construction electricity is not included in that.

A distance of 45m (150 feet) is unusually long. The local flat rate includes 15m (50 feet), which seems to be the standard.

Get ready for your sewage shaft if it also has to be that long... oh dear.

I don’t find the prices unreasonable now either.

Wastewater will probably become more expensive than electricity. And cables and telephone connections will also add to the costs.

Your "problem" isn’t the connection fee but the 45 meters (150 feet).

Just by the way... why have a house connection pillar at all? In our area, such things are usually completely omitted.
