CONSTITUENCY BRIEFING · ENERGYMAP.APP
New Forest East
New Forest East has 15 MW of renewables running, enough for 5,500 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, £3.6m across the constituency's 38,908 homes.
Ranks 472 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
