Platt, CED Greentech, call everyone and see who wants the business most. Platts distribution hub has miles of wire, don't know about CED. You may want to consider a buck and boost pair of transformers if you haven't already. On Thu, Jan 23, 2025, 11:19 AM August Goers via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches

Hi All, I need to place an order for about 19,000 ft of 1/0 copper. The conduits are underground and already existing. They were done via directional bore. If I could use Aluminum wire I would. I can't. Which supplier do you recommend for this quantity? Obviously hoping for a volume discount. S
