You put a pole 10% + 2' (IIRC) into the ground, so 70'?

What is the height of an installed 80' pole?

I'm impressed you can 80' wooden pole in for $5500. Here it was
closer to $10,000. Just the pole itself was a few $k. Transport from
the yard to a worksite was $2500. It's over the length limit for NYS
roads, so we have to have escort vehicles and file a plan with the
DOT. Some pole contractors didn't even want to do it.

Funny you mention this. I just got off the phone with the power
company about the exact same thing. Around here anything higher than
65 ft is considered transmission line pole and gets expensive.
$5,500 for 80 ft.
$2,500 for 65 ft.
$1,000 for 40 ft.
that cost includes the pole and labor to plant it.
Also, you can't set a meter on the pole unless they retain ownership
or you lease the pole as part of the service. The cost to run lines
and/or transformers is on you as well. So plant your pole close to
the existing grid.
