A kettle uses ~1.5KW, a geyser ~2KW, an oven ~5KW, a stove about ~3KW. These are fairly high estimates I got from some quick googling. If you add these all up, and account for some more appliances (HVAC, fridge/freezer etc.), I think it is safe to estimate that a household less than 20KW at peak, even though it is a fairly high estimate.
So going backwards from there, 1.2MW = 1200KW and 1200KW / 20KW = 60 households at peak usage. Which is a very conservative estimate.
For future reference I will use 1MW = 50 households as a conservative rule of thumb. Maybe 100 households per MW is closer to reality, but that feels fairly lenient to me.
