Northern Territory grid · community impact

Based on last week's Northern Territory grid mix (avg 640 gCO₂/kWh), Alice Springs's 3,098 solar systems typically avoid around 15.17 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

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

Alice Springs is one of Northern Territory's strongest solar communities, ranking 3rd in the state — ahead of 93% of all Northern Territory postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator. New installations eased in the past 12 months (58 systems, 22% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.

The combined impact is substantial: Alice Springs's solar community avoids an estimated 24,229 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 11,538 cars off the road or powering around 4,846 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.
