Is the house connection capacity of 14.5 kW sufficient?

Dear Forianer,

According to the construction service description of my GÜ, the connection capacity of the house will be 14.5 kW. Is that sufficient for a modern single-family house with 5 people? I realize that most consumers do not necessarily run simultaneously, but if I imagine that in winter many things might indeed be on at the same time and then a hairdryer with 2 kW is added, the limit might already be reached. What would actually happen then? Can the connection capacity be "upgraded" or is there already a restriction from the network operators? How does photovoltaics play into this? Can it increase the maximum consumption peak value of a house or does it bring nothing if the electrical installation overall is simply not designed for more power?

Thanks and regards

A large cooking hob alone already has an 11 kW connection value...

Exactly (whereas the one I have in mind rather has 7). But what about my other questions, can you say something about them? What would be a reasonable terminal value?

No idea. I have never specified a connection value for any house construction (that was always done by the electrician). I would have guessed around 40-50kW plus instantaneous water heater/heat pump.

That would indeed be a great discrepancy...

I googled it once. The 14.5kW is apparently standard.
