CONSTITUENCY BRIEFING · ENERGYMAP.APP
Honiton and Sidmouth
Honiton and Sidmouth has 39 MW of clean power (all solar) approved and still not built: enough to supply a year's electricity to 14,000 homes. Britain's grid bottlenecks still add to bills here: about £92 a year per household, £3.8m across the constituency's 41,238 homes. A 150 MW battery was refused planning here in 2025; while discharging it could have supplied about 526,000 homes.
Ranks 159 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
