Hi Nobrot,

We spent a full morning in the offices of Fecsa a few months ago in Alcaniz, asking all of the pro's and con's about mains electricity connection.

Apparently anybody has the legal right to connect to the mains,......................at a cost!

The very large power lines are normally taking power to big cities, and you cannot spur off from these lines. You need the smaller ones. (please pardon the basic sounding knowledge......i'm a woman and more interested in the ceiling rose fittings and if they can be downlighters or on dimmer switches etc.......lol)

Then you need to find out where the nearest transformer is (large black box on a pylon) you can be connected from this.

So, in reality, you can have huge power lines crossing, or near your finca, and not have a hope in hell of connection, you can also have the lower voltage lines for villages on your property, but the transformer can be 5 kilometers away, again, not a huge problem, except, if you want your own transformer, they can fit this for you for.............36000 Euros, then approx. 6000 euros a kilometer to put the posts and cables to your house (depending on Fecsa's survey) and by the way, they wont even consider a survey before you actually own the property.

Small snitch in this information, Nobrot, here we go again!..........we were asking for the information for properties in Matarrana in Aragon, whether these prices are across the board for all areas i dont honestly know, because we didn't ask, but maybe it is something to work on.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Jools
