New South Wales grid · community impact

Based on last week's New South Wales grid mix (avg 790 gCO₂/kWh), Postcode 2456's 4,136 solar systems typically avoid around 25.00 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

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

Postcode 2456 sits in the top third of New South Wales for solar uptake, ranking 82nd in the state out of 721 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset. Growth has been strong, with 244 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 20% increase on the previous year, making Postcode 2456 one of New South Wales's faster-growing solar postcodes.

The combined impact is substantial: Postcode 2456's solar community avoids an estimated 39,929 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 19,014 cars off the road or powering around 7,986 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.
