CONSTITUENCY BRIEFING · ENERGYMAP.APP
West Lancashire
West Lancashire has 1.5 MW of clean power (all solar) approved and still not built: enough to supply a year's electricity to 600 homes. Britain's grid bottlenecks still add to bills here: about £92 a year per household, £3.8m across the constituency's 41,232 homes.
Ranks 369 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
