CONSTITUENCY BRIEFING · ENERGYMAP.APP
Taunton and Wellington
Taunton and Wellington has 22 MW of clean power (all solar) approved and still not built: enough to supply a year's electricity to 7,900 homes. Britain's grid bottlenecks still add to bills here: about £92 a year per household, £4.4m across the constituency's 47,337 homes.
Ranks 192 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
