How much does digging a hole or laying a cable cost here in the UK compared to elsewhere? I'm just trying to get a feel for whether things like the transmission/distribution network costs are higher than elsewhere.

The HS2 project is mostly that - and very, very expensive it seems.

I'm in another Northern European country, and 7c/kWh goes towards network and transmission costs.
