I've had clients tell me that the quotes they got from either Quebec
Hydro or Ontario Hydro ranged from 20k$ for a hundred yards to 50k$ per
kilometer, plus any blasting required.

Doesn't take long to justify an alternative power system.

In my own personal case, the quote was 150k$ for 2.5 kilometers.
Amusingly, the bank was willing to lend that money to us to bring in
the grid, but not to lend us the 50k$ for the alternative power system
that replaced it eventually...
