I don't recall exact prices, but my parents got electricity, gas, and cable run about 170ft to their new (used) mobile home for extremely cheap. I want to say one company charged $1, the other was free, and the other might have been $100.

Trenching is easy if there's not too many boulders.

... I inquired about running gas to a particular house once, and the gas company would have to extend their line along the road and they quoted me $50k to do that. Then everyone else would get cheap access to the line I would have paid to run.
