CONSTITUENCY BRIEFING · ENERGYMAP.APP
Portsmouth North
Portsmouth North has 12 MW of clean power (all solar) approved and still not built: enough to supply a year's electricity to 4,200 homes. Britain's grid bottlenecks still add to bills here: about £92 a year per household, £3.7m across the constituency's 40,736 homes.
Ranks 218 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
