Preston

MP: Sir Mark Hendrick (Labour (Co-op)) England Data to July 2026

Preston has no significant clean power approved and waiting to be built, and none running. Britain's grid bottlenecks still add to bills here: about £92 a year per household, £4.3m across the constituency's 46,697 homes.

Ranks 457 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
