Watts = Volts x Amps
That means at 1 KV (kilovolt), 1mA (milliamp) would have to be flowing.
As far as how much electricity you’d need to supply a 10 bedroom house, that really depends on alot of factors mate! But don’t count on supplying that 10 bedroom house with any less than 5 KWhr (kilowatt hours/day)

Watts are a measure of power (energy per unit time).
Volts are a measure of electric potential.
Electrical power is related to the potential difference in a circuit as:
P = v * I
Where P is the power, v is the voltage, and I is the current.
In order to determine how many kilovolts there are when power consumption is 1 watt, one would need to know either the current or the resistance of the circuit (from which one could calculate current).
The amount of “electricity” (or more correctly, the amount of electrical energy) consumed by a 10 bedroom house is depending on the energy consumption of the appliances inside the house, it is not a constant fixed valuel, it can varry with time.

A kilovolt is a unit of voltage, not power. What you need is power. For a large house, I would install a 400 amp panel (120/240 volt, US specs), or 200 amps in Britain or other countries where 240/480 volts are standard.
