Forster ranks 559th in New South Wales out of 721 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 123 registered systems to date. Growth has been strong, with 8 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 167% increase on the previous year, making Forster one of New South Wales's faster-growing solar postcodes.
Collectively, Forster's 123 solar systems avoid an estimated 1,187 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 565 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.
