My utility company (NIPSCO) ran my power underground, but I had to supply and build the "H" frame that holds the meter and disconnect panel, the meter box and disconnect panel as well. I also had to run my own wire from the meter to whatever I was powering from the meter, (house, barn, etc.).

I don't know if they would have charged me if it was a longer run, it was only 80 or so feet from the pole by the road to the meter.
