I had to move my existing 100 amp service entrance on Rattlesnake Island to make way for a new structure. It turns out that I moved the service entrance from the existing cottage to the new structure, and made the cottage a sub-panel off the new service... just for background.
Anyway, it turns out that the power company no longer connects new 100 Amp services (this was considered new service), and I had to build a 200 amp service entrance for my island cottage !
Nice thing about New Hampshire - or at least Alton - I was able to do it myself - everything except the actual connection from the pole to the building, which obviously had to be done by the power company itself.
