CONSTITUENCY BRIEFING · ENERGYMAP.APP
Clwyd North
Clwyd North has 5 MW of renewables running, enough for 1,800 homes over a year, and nothing large waiting in the planning queue. Britain's grid bottlenecks still add to bills here: about £92 a year per household, £4.1m across the constituency's 44,596 homes.
Ranks 569 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
