Energy Map: Britain’s wind-power switch-off bill, seat by seat
An interactive UK grid story showing where wind curtailment, delayed clean-power projects, and transmission bottlenecks land politically and financially.
Field notes
The project separates generation from transmission: approved solar and onshore-wind capacity is counted by constituency, while offshore wind is listed separately because it does not belong to a seat. Its ranking pages cover all 650 constituencies and translate large figures into local comparisons, such as days of household electricity. The homepage also distinguishes batteries, which shift electricity in time, from new wires, which move it across distance, and links to a publicly described method and named data sources.
