Re: It's gonna be difficult...

Can you explain exactly where you saw the regulation about reducing the power of kettles. An actual link would be useful. Last time (it was about a year ago) there was an EU study into proposed energy saving measures I took the trouble to look at the bit about kettles. It proposed two solutions:

1) Better insulation.

2) Far more effective 'auto switch off when it boils' mechanism that work promptly when the kettle is new and don't get steadily less effective as it ages.

Both struck me as being quite sensible. Of course, you are going to ask me for a link to the study I am referencing and that could take a while to find.
