Not sure if the same regarding ownership but I've got about 400 m on my
property from the utility's powerpole to the house, it's underground because
of local planning regulations but it's definitely private, the utility has
no idea where it runs.

There are _no_ private SWER lines in SA. The utility owns the SWER line
up to the transformer pole at the house, the transformer, the LV feed
into the house and the meter.
(There are tens of thousands of kilometres of SWER in SA)
That might be true, but there are non SWER lines - ie: No Transformer -
but still just a wire, makes no difference when you hit them - that are
private.
I might not know the right words, we just call them - power lines :-)
In Victoria (Western District) my cousin just put in power to their house
(over 10K into their property). Power company would only pay to the edge,
and then the rest is up to them, cost them over $30,000 to get it
installed, and it is theirs, and theirs to maintain. So that is 10K of
power lines in Vic alone that I know of that are private.
Council recently sent us a letter in Panton Hill saying that we have to
maintain our own power lines once they are in the property, and up to the
first pole the council and utility provider (depending on the
circumstance) will help with trees etc.
Granted, above is very anecdotal evidence.

Microsoft is not the answer. It's the question. And the answer is no.
