CONSTITUENCY BRIEFING · ENERGYMAP.APP
Warrington South
Warrington South has 1.2 MW of clean power (all solar) approved and still not built: enough to supply a year's electricity to 400 homes. Britain's grid bottlenecks still add to bills here: about £92 a year per household, £4.0m across the constituency's 43,443 homes. A 250 MW battery was refused planning here in 2025; while discharging it could have supplied about 876,000 homes.
Ranks 400 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
