ᐅ Is it possible to connect to a neighbor’s utility line?

I 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?

Connecting directly to the transformer is different from tapping into an existing 35mm² house connection.

The issue is to arrange it with the network operator.
The empty conduits from the house extended up to 2m (6.5 feet) before the transformer station or supply line. Telephone, fiber optic, and water were also pre-installed there.

For the prepared house connection, one would have needed to dig around the house once.

And that was neither practical for us nor for the civil engineering company.

No. It also depends on what is allowed after the technical connection point (TAB) and what is not.
And in this case, it makes a big difference whether you tap into the transformer, where the main cables run (in this example with 150mm² (0.23in²)), or whether you branch off a 35mm² (0.05in²) house connection to another building.

That is the utility company’s responsibility. If they don’t do it, they simply won’t do it. I assume this is not about a private cable.
