CONSTITUENCY BRIEFING · ENERGYMAP.APP
Edinburgh West
Edinburgh West has 12 MW of clean power (all solar) approved and still not built: enough to supply a year's electricity to 4,500 homes. Britain's grid bottlenecks still add to bills here: about £92 a year per household, £4.0m across the constituency's 44,012 homes.
Ranks 216 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
