New South Wales grid · community impact

Based on last week's New South Wales grid mix (avg 790 gCO₂/kWh), Gosford's 8,830 solar systems typically avoid around 53.36 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

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

Gosford is one of New South Wales's strongest solar communities, ranking 17th in the state — ahead of 98% of all New South Wales postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator. 678 new systems were added in the past 12 months, with growth of 1% on the previous year — typical of a maturing market where most interested households have already installed.

The combined impact is substantial: Gosford's solar community avoids an estimated 85,244 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 40,592 cars off the road or powering around 17,049 average Australian homes with clean electricity. 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.
