Harpenden and Berkhamsted
Harpenden and Berkhamsted has 13 MW of renewables running, enough for 4,800 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, £3.5m across the constituency's 38,512 homes.
Ranks 532 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
