Stone, Great Wyrley and Penkridge

MP: Sir Gavin Williamson (Conservative) England Data to July 2026

Stone, Great Wyrley and Penkridge has 125 MW of clean power (all solar) approved and still not built: enough to supply a year's electricity to 45,000 homes. When the wires are too full to carry the power, Britain pays wind farms to switch off instead. No wind farm here is paid that way — almost all of it goes to wind farms in Scotland. That cost is shared across every bill in Britain, so households here pay for it too: about £92 a year per household, £3.5m across the constituency's 38,510 homes.

Ranks 46 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
