or will it be on a separate meter? your electric utility might be able to give some "unofficial" advice if you can find the right person to talk to.

just lighting and a few normal fans won't need to much but AC or real heating is more serious. wire is freaking expensive - install with the idea you may want to do more later. the wiring, especially buried should be able to handle more than you are planning, you can add breakers and outlets/other connections later.
