CONSTITUENCY BRIEFING · ENERGYMAP.APP
Winchester
Winchester has 19 MW of clean power (all solar) approved and still not built: enough to supply a year's electricity to 6,900 homes. Britain's grid bottlenecks still add to bills here: about £92 a year per household, £3.9m across the constituency's 42,375 homes.
Ranks 202 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
