CONSTITUENCY BRIEFING · ENERGYMAP.APP
Stourbridge
Stourbridge has 1.9 MW of clean power (all solar) approved and still not built: enough to supply a year's electricity to 700 homes. Britain's grid bottlenecks still add to bills here: about £92 a year per household, £3.7m across the constituency's 40,385 homes.
Ranks 343 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
