Northern Territory grid · community impact

Based on last week's Northern Territory grid mix (avg 640 gCO₂/kWh), Palmerston's 1,600 solar systems typically avoid around 7.83 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Grid intensity data: Open Electricity (openelectricity.org.au) · 7-day average · updates monthly

Palmerston sits in the top third of Northern Territory for solar uptake, ranking 6th in the state out of 46 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset. 93 new systems were added in the past 12 months, with growth of 3% on the previous year — typical of a maturing market where most interested households have already installed.

The combined impact is substantial: Palmerston's solar community avoids an estimated 12,513 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 5,959 cars off the road or powering around 2,503 average Australian homes with clean electricity. This is estimated using Northern Territory's average grid emissions intensity of 640 gCO₂/kWh, sourced from OpenElectricity, applied to an average system size of 9kW.
