Bolsover
Bolsover has 35 MW of clean power (all solar) approved and still not built: enough to supply a year's electricity to 13,000 homes. Britain's grid bottlenecks still add to bills here: about £92 a year per household, £4.1m across the constituency's 44,182 homes.
Ranks 166 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
