Only those that consume 3 kW max :)

Jokes aside, I think that this ends up incentivizing an efficient use of energy. That's not so bad after all.

I mean sure, but there are certain appliances(like kettles) which really can't get any more efficient, so if you want to boil some water......3kW overall limit for the entire apartment is seriously limiting. Like, if someone is boiling water and another person uses a hair dryer, it will blow fuses?
