Cannock Chase

MP: Josh Newbury (Labour) England Data to July 2026

Cannock Chase has no significant clean power approved and waiting to be built, and none running. Britain's grid bottlenecks still add to bills here: about £92 a year per household, £4.0m across the constituency's 43,457 homes. A 100 MW battery was refused planning here in 2026; while discharging it could have supplied about 350,000 homes.

Ranks 569 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
