tuftonborough area. Any recommendations for barge service, electrical submarine cables and concrete caps and electrician to hook in on both sides?
Any help is appreciated!

I would have thought all of the islands have electric at this point. You learn something everyday. How big is the island you are on?

Good luck with the project.

There are a fair number that don't. Camp, Timber and Diamond are just a few in Gilford alone. Not exactly small ones either...

Didn't know Timber doesn't have power but I'm not surprised due to the few properties. We were out on the lake last weekend during the full moon and noticed lights on at one property on the west side. Hopefully they're not lugging gas to the island. Its bad enough just feeding the generator during power outages at home.

The cost to supply verses the return.
Not sure what Island it was but I heard a few years ago the residents of one island went to court to get power brought out.
The reason I was told was that the cost to bring it out would never be returned because of the few houses on the island therefor the electric company did not want to bring it out and bear the cost.
