looking at a house from -46, plastered facade in fine condition, and considering internal additional insulation. my question, can I run new electrical wiring in conduit in the new wall (45x45 studs + insulation) and then connect the new wiring to the old one which is drawn in the existing timber wall?
 
Simplified answer but yes.
 
but on the other hand I can use the old wiring to run new wires all the way, just attach new wires to the old ones at the electrical panel and pull :) and have a qualified electrician connect it :) on the other hand again, when I think about it, there's no huge reason to insulate either, the house is currently heated with 2-3m3 of oil/year and a pellet conversion will cost me about 12000/year for heating, if I also replace the innermost pane in the windows with energy glass with better U-value, I should get fairly cheap heating anyway?
 
Yes, that sounds sensible on all accounts. Then you can see in the future if they need to be isolated.
 
Exactly, you shouldn't insulate just because you usually do it, if there is no need it is just unnecessary.
