'Here' the REA supplies overhead to your yard, high power. Ends up costing you $400 or so for fees and costs, but distance down your driveway isn't normally an issue.
A few years ago, they offered to do underground for 50 cents a foot. Obviously below cost, but they have so much less issue with trees and such, that it works for them.
Something is getting lost here, if you are choosing between 3 phase and 220v service....
Typically they run in the high votlage line - some 4000 or 7000 or more voltage just as goes past on the road.
They set a transformer in your yard, and 220 comes out of the transformer.
Typically the high votlager part is done for cheaper by the utility company, if not free, and all the 220v from the meter on is your cost.
To run a 100 amp set of 220 wires a 1/2 mile, you would need:
1000 MCM copper wire.
or
1750MCM aluminum wire.
Those are fat wires, 3 of them.
The high voltage service should be 2 thin wires, much cheaper to put the transformer in the yard rather than out on the road.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
