CONSTITUENCY BRIEFING · ENERGYMAP.APP
North East Hampshire
North East Hampshire has 168 MW of clean power (all solar) approved and still not built: enough to supply a year's electricity to 61,000 homes. Britain's grid bottlenecks still add to bills here: about £92 a year per household, £3.8m across the constituency's 41,059 homes. A 115 MW battery was refused planning here in 2026; while discharging it could have supplied about 403,000 homes.
Ranks 26 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
