Thanks, I'll have a look into the IDNO option. A generator might also be an option, but not probably not suitable if the site expands to holiday lodges.  At the moment, we market the site as being off-grid, electricity free, but with a few comforts. Solar lighting and gas showers work well for...

The estimate came back from SSE today. Not a formal quote, but their estimate was £100,000. Ouch.

Thanks - that's really useful. I'm not sure how many amps it would need. There are no caravan pitches, just bell tents (which don't need electricity). However, there is a communal shelter and kitchen for when the weather is bad, and for parties. Ideally, I'd replace the two (very temperamental)...

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a supply anywhere closer. The nearest power line on the farm is the one that connects to the farm buildings. There isn't much else...

Thanks ProDave, so the most cost effective way of doing this is always to contact the DNO? Was hoping to find a way of keeping costs down and do some of the trenching myself.
