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

Redfern ranks 506th in New South Wales out of 721 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 251 registered systems to date. 23 new systems were installed in the past 12 months, a 10% increase on the previous year — steady growth consistent with continued community uptake.

Collectively, Redfern's 251 solar systems avoid an estimated 2,423 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 1,154 cars from the road. This is estimated using New South Wales's average grid emissions intensity of 790 gCO₂/kWh, sourced from OpenElectricity, applied to an average system size of 9kW.
