If the electric run is going to a home that will actually USE the juice, the electric company sees a customer. If it terminates at a pole or garage, why would they want to cover the cost of installation? Co-ops are normally cheaper for installation and the subsequent power use is more expensive. Co-ops also have to answer to a smaller and more focused board of directors. Each new customer is a bit higher in profile. For this reason alone, scrutiny of return-on-investment is elevated.

I have to pull juice about 2300 feet; it's a co-op. We are going underground. I am going to have it estimated in the near future...letcha know.
