Ashfield
Ashfield has 7.8 MW of clean power (all solar) approved and still not built: enough to supply a year's electricity to 2,800 homes. Britain's grid bottlenecks still add to bills here: about £92 a year per household, £3.8m across the constituency's 40,935 homes.
Ranks 236 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
