Electrical setup for my new shop. 20x40 , 11x40

[MT Farmer]

So my title says most of it but I'm setting up a brand new building. My space designated towards agriculture is a 20x40, and a 11x40. What is the ultimate electrical setup for a nice shop. Big question I know but I get to build this whole building around this would like to get it right. When I saw the thread show us your switchboards I realized I knew diddly.

Hire someone to do it and tell them how much juice you need and where the outlets go.

What are the service capabilities for this building? 100, 200 Amp Main, city/well water, etc?

Get 2 200 amp panels put in youll never have to upgrade. But if you dont get both get at least one 200 amp main.

Ok it's working now....

You may want to divide the shop into a few smaller rooms, imagine trimming 20 lights worth all at once. Also are you doing hydro's or soil? Exhaust or a sealed room?

Anyway once you know how many lights in each building plus any other loads then you can plan it out....
