we supply electricity to these new estates, there is no let up in the market yet, and we are having to go further and further afield to get the electricity to supply them, I imagine the same is true for all the other utilities, they just dont investigate whether the local infrastructure can take all of the additional capacity before they buy the plots, then expect to just be able to hook up to the local network, whereas in practice the supplies have to come from further afield, still it pays my wages. the worst area for these new developments is in and around London.
