There are rules governing pole placement, but they are not too onerous

We got a private guy to put the pole in rather than using the electric company, which made it a lot cheaper. You can prob find someone by asking around

Our guy actually worked subcontracting for the electric company, but when he worked directly for us he supplied the post and wire at a much better price

The electric company wanted to charge B8000 including wire, the guy charged us B3000 plus the wire costs (approx B1500)
