One note regarding the pole transformers: in many parts of the US they've migrated to underground cabling and larger transformers. My neighborhood has that, and we have about 1 transformer every 4 houses or so. No idea how big the transformer is from a kVA rating, but pretty much every house has 240V/200A service, so they must be pretty large. The transformers themselves are approximately 3' x 3' x 3' and enclosed in a box at the front of certain yards.

You might find that interesting: https://data.enedis.fr/pages/cartographie-des-reseaux-contenu/ https://data.enedis.fr/pages/cartographie-des-reseaux-conten... This map references all transformers and distribution lines for the french network nationwide for terminal loops. These are open data: Enedis is a the public operator. "Poste" is the French Jargon for transformer. BT is for low voltage. HT is for anything >1000V. Like you will see yourself, the density of transformer is of the order of 10x less than in the US/Japanese model.
