CONSTITUENCY BRIEFING · ENERGYMAP.APP
Shrewsbury
Shrewsbury has 25 MW of clean power (all solar) approved and still not built: enough to supply a year's electricity to 9,100 homes. Britain's grid bottlenecks still add to bills here: about £92 a year per household, £4.0m across the constituency's 43,659 homes.
Ranks 182 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
