New Forest West
New Forest West has 24 MW of clean power (all solar) approved and still not built: enough to supply a year's electricity to 8,500 homes. Britain's grid bottlenecks still add to bills here: about £92 a year per household, £3.6m across the constituency's 38,657 homes.
Ranks 187 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
