This is part two in a series about renewable energy planning in the UK. I was floored by the sea of blue when I saw the 2019 UK election map, when Conservatives won 1.8 times as many seats as Labour, but 14 times as much land mass[1]. This area includes the transmission routes from offshore wind projects in the North to industrial hubs and heavily populated areas further south. The constituency map anticipated for the next election upends this land divide, posing an opportunity for Labour to accelerate renewable energy investments through planning improvements.
Who controls the land controls renewables. Maybe.
