great, thanks Dave for input, ill try replying with that

yes I thought it was a strange way to phrase the question .

sorry yes of course

Hi i am at the start of my new house build, I’m applying for a new 3phase supply from SSE, I’ve filled out the forms and they are now asking the following …….. Important information: Please confirm Size of Generation required in kW or MW per phase. I don’t have an electrician onboard yet but I want to get this going ASAP due to their apparent ‘up to 7 month’ lead in!? ……..my question is what would be an appropriate figure to give them for each phase to answer this question? it doesn’t need to be accurate at the moment, just plausible. A bit of background, 4500m2 house, will have 2 fast car chargers, PV , ASHP, 2 dish washer etc etc , my chosen electrician will work out the final loads and sizing when they are on board , also I need a good supply to the garage for woodwork machinery etc in future. Thanks

Hi All, I’ve been following this forum for some time. In the last couple of week we received the great news that our planning for our new house had been granted, this followed a long and stressful 28 week (fight?) application with the Southdown National Park planners (under Winchester) . Anyway we are there now and excited to get on the journey, this will be my 4th self build , the last one was 20 years ago so things have changed, we are building for our family home and this is defiantly the last one!! (I did say that last time!). They are making us jump through hoops within 18 conditions to discharge most of them before we start. I am in the construction industry so that helps . ill sign off now and no doubt be back for questions and help along the way.
