Morning, it surprises me to read of the houses with 60A and 80A mains, and the homeowners complain about not having enough electricity to run all their appliances. I guess a huge stove, tumble dryer, ac in every room, underfloor heating and the rest finally add up.
Here in Orania some of the houses have a 40A main breaker on the street, the lucky ones. Several houses have a 30A main breaker on the street and even a couple of houses with 25A main breakers.
We manage, we call it energy efficiency! We use gas stoves, gas geysers, solar geysers, or both and a large number of homes have a small inverter system to give them a bit of leverage so they can run luxury items.
We are a small town working hard to be less reliant on Eskom. Why can't other cities and towns do the same?
Have a great weekend
