CONSTITUENCY BRIEFING · ENERGYMAP.APP
Bradford West
Bradford West has 2.3 MW of clean power (all solar) approved and still not built: enough to supply a year's electricity to 800 homes. Britain's grid bottlenecks still add to bills here: about £92 a year per household, £3.6m across the constituency's 39,290 homes.
Ranks 328 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
