MeinHaus4528 Sep 2022 16:26I am planning the construction of my house. On the grid operator’s map, the power line along the street is shown in purple and labeled with 150 (probably amperes). From this line, a green cable with 35A branches off (via a public path) to a private house. The distance from my property to this green cable would naturally be much shorter than to the street. Is it technically possible to connect another house to this cable? Since the path is public, the cable is probably not “private,” but can it be used technically?

Technically, this is not an issue. A 35mm² (about 0.054 square inches) cable can carry 159A in the ground and still nearly 130A in air. This is sufficient for 3 houses with the commonly used 40A in single-family homes today.
However, the utility company will not allow it. One house equals one service connection. Even semi-detached houses have two separate supply lines.

You had to clarify that with your utility provider, right?
We managed to arrange it as well because the route to the transformer station was much easier than using the designated connection point.
However, this needs to be discussed with the utility provider and the construction department. The statements here are not really relevant. If the provider says no, then that’s how it is.

motorradsilke30 Sep 2022 07:08We had a shared connection with the neighbor in the old house. This had to be changed for the new house, so we were connected individually to the main line at the street. The utility provider said this is the standard procedure nowadays.
However, we didn’t have to pay the full price for a new connection, only for a modification. They installed the cable overhead on our property, so no digging was necessary.

We managed to get it approved because the route to the transformer station was much easier than using the planned connection point.
However, this must be discussed with the provider and the construction department. The comments here aren’t really relevant. If the provider says no, then that’s final. Connecting directly at the transformer is different from tapping into an existing 35mm² (0.05 sq inch) house connection.
