Is construction power worth it because it is cheaper? Experiences?

Hello,

there is already a functioning power connection on our property, i.e. the distributor, meter, etc. all work.
A three-phase power connection could also be installed.
Is it advisable to have an electrician apply for and install a box for construction power here, or will it ultimately cost more or about the same as paying the regular electricity price right away?

Who installed the meter? I don't understand the question at all. The construction power is needed by the trades until the supplier connects you to the grid, which happens in new construction when the windows and doors are installed.

The expensive part of construction electricity is not the electricity but the box from the electrician, because you rent it. I think with us it was 3 euros per day.

The electricity is of course also expensive depending on the amount, but the electricity tariff does not care whether it goes through a construction electricity meter or a finished meter.

With us, the "hardware" also comes from the construction company and is not charged separately. Therefore, I do not care which meter the electricity runs through.

The installation for the construction power connection costs just under 180€ here in Lower Saxony. A few kilometers away in Bremen, a multiple of that is charged.

The distributor and meter were installed by the previous owner to have electricity on the property (in the garage). So could I then also use the existing distributor/meter for the construction power? Then I wouldn’t have to install or rent a construction power box?
