How is it that someone purchased a home that can not receive electricity?
Was the home sold for much cheaper, since the electricity was, "up to the buyer" to figure out?
In order to do this, you need to have all your permits in order. Unfortunately, the energy companies announced out of the blue that they didn't have enough energy to accommodate all their new obligations...
And of course they probably never attempted to get electrical utility planning permission until they already sunk money into construction.
The same actually very rarely happens in the US, where utilities of all kinds have capacity planning that can result in a denial of services for new hookups.
