CONSTITUENCY BRIEFING · ENERGYMAP.APP
South Derbyshire
South Derbyshire has 22 MW of renewables running, enough for 8,100 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, £3.7m across the constituency's 40,094 homes.
Ranks 569 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
