An Underground to Overhead UGOH electrical connection is a popular choice for homeowners and businesses seeking an aesthetically pleasing and reliable power supply. UGOH connections involve running an underground cable from the nearest overhead power line to your property, eliminating the need for unsightly overhead wires crossing your premises.
The benefits of UGOH connections include improved property aesthetics, reduced risk of damage from falling trees or extreme weather, increased safety by eliminating overhead lines and fewer power disruptions compared to traditional overhead lines. While the installation cost is higher due to trenching and underground cabling, the long-term advantages often outweigh the initial investment.

How Much Does an Underground to Overhead UGOH Connection Cost?
The costs associated with installing a UGOH connection can vary significantly depending on several factors. In situations requiring minimal excavation and good site access, costs can start from around $3,000. However, for most UGOH installations, the typical cost range is between $5,000 to $15,000.
The main cost components include:
- Trenching and Underground Cabling:
- This involves digging a trench from the street network pole to your property and laying the underground cable. Costs depend on the distance, terrain, and any obstacles like driveways or landscaping.
- Application and Inspection Fees
- These are the fees paid directly to the Electricity Network (e.g., Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy, Essential Energy) for the application and final inspection.
- Restoration Works
- Reinstating concrete, paving, landscaping, etc.
