CONSTITUENCY BRIEFING · ENERGYMAP.APP
North East Somerset and Hanham
North East Somerset and Hanham has 5 MW of renewables running, enough for 1,900 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 39,439 homes.
Ranks 483 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
