    Anyways, private energy works great in the UK.

    Speaking of power supply, you have multiple lines. That’s an option here too. We also have an option to have a triple phase 415V (these are rare in domestic applications, but in my home country in Latvia that’s how you hook up an electric oven and a hob). Somehow there’s no limit on how much power the 415V line can deliver, I’ve seen some tables that allow up to 1700 Amps, which is completely bonkers. That’s a bloody megaWatt of power!

      That’s an insane amount of power! I’m guessing they don’t have a difference between industrial and residential lines? Because that much power could make sense for a factory, but it certainly doesn’t make sense for a house.
