I've just finished(exterior) building a 24x48. I ran a separate 200 amp service and plan to install a 2 ton mini split heat pump some day. I think 200 amps is more than I need for my wood shop but I wanted additional capacity for welder etc.

I think you meant to say - you recently purchased a 30x60 shop with a detached home.I recently purchased a home with a 30x60 shop. Planning on upgrading electric and heat. Curious what most people have for heat and amps.
Why is that Bruce? Only one residential drop per property or what? What do they do for farmers - charge them out the wazoo also? Odd its just a little more aluminum wire and a few poles - strange the would sock it to you for that.Remember that if shop is on separate service (meter) you will have to pay commercial rates, which include demand charges. For a shop that size, I would look at gas heat.
