Estimating power-related job costs
To assist contractors and developers, SRP provides requested rough estimates of construction charges to prepare project budgets in advance of breaking ground.
Construction fees vary based on services requested.
If you need additional help, email [email protected] and someone will respond within 48 hours Monday through Friday.
Basic estimating assumptions
The estimated charges shown below are based on:
- Construction jobs that include up to 1,000 feet of primary construction
- Customers providing all trenching and conduit needed for construction
Exact charges will be determined after thorough plan review and discussion. Explore the resources below for information on pricing based on your project.*
*Estimated charges are subject to change at SRP’s discretion and are revised every six months. All prices are for estimating purposes only.
**New residential multiunit projects: For pricing for new residential multiunit projects such as apartments, condominiums and townhomes, please email [email protected].
