Are Electricity supply company's legally obliged to provide electricity to all property's ? If so up to where , the property boundary or to the property ?
There is already power in the road (up poles, not underground) & the property is only 20 Mtrs from the road , so not some remote place.
Thanks
Martin

they are obliged to give you a price to connect - they don't provide it for free, you have no legal entitlement

I thought that they no longer had to even give a price. Some rules changed a couple of years ago and there is no longer an obligation for the utility companies to connect you.
