I have 23kW and my own substation! Part of the result of paying tens of 
thousands to have the overhead cable across the garden removed. No 
transformer on a pole, A substation in the garden instead.

I wish I had gone three phase...I had that option.

But seriously, before the greens and politicians started fucking with it 
the UK grid was amongst the best in the world and the house wiring 
actually is, in my opinion.

US wiring horrifies me.

European is mostly pretty good.
