CONSTITUENCY BRIEFING · ENERGYMAP.APP
Old Bexley and Sidcup
Old Bexley and Sidcup has no significant clean power approved and waiting to be built, and none running. Britain's grid bottlenecks still add to bills here: about £92 a year per household, £3.7m across the constituency's 39,715 homes. A 200 MW battery was refused planning here in 2025; while discharging it could have supplied about 701,000 homes.
Ranks 516 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
