CONSTITUENCY BRIEFING · ENERGYMAP.APP
Staffordshire Moorlands
Staffordshire Moorlands has 13 MW of renewables running, enough for 4,900 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, £3.5m across the constituency's 37,742 homes. A 99 MW battery was refused planning here in 2025; while discharging it could have supplied about 347,000 homes.
Ranks 510 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
